Always meant to read Catch 22 but never got round to it.
Anyone recommend it?, I've seen the film
Loved it!

Mr Blizz bought me On the Origin of the Species.
I love the book, but I haven't read it. It looks good on the shelf, mind.
Been itching to say the Bible....its somewhere about the house I'm sure.....but needs to many bookmarks....

It's an epic, but too many authors to make sense, IMO.
....but meant to....
Am half watching Naked and the Homer-phobic joke reminded me I bought Odyssey and Iliad and have read neither.
Any books you've bought and not read or tomes you have been meaning to but have never gotten around to?
I actually read the Illiad. It actually is a really good read, though it takes a man ages to die by the time the dark cloud of death finally envelopes him
In fact I was so proud of myself for reading it that I tried to read James Joyce's Ulysses afterwards...a greek tragedy I can make perfect sense of....but a day in a Dubliner's life I can't make head nor tail of
A Suitable Boy
Got about a third of the way through it and gave up - one day I will start all over again but it is VERY BIG!
Don't bother... I wish I'd slammed it shut, made me lose the will to live I've bought the LOTR books, but not got round to reading them
I bought Stephen King's IT last September, I've read the first 225 pages, considering its 1376 pages long... that ain't good
You should stick with it
I've read IT Rawky, you're right it is long but I enjoyed it. Stephen King has a real grasp of the relationships kids have with eachother and their view of the world.
I loved the IT film as well although the book is slightly different
He does like to waffle Veggie. I've seen the film before but everyone says that the book is so much better. I will finish it...one day.
I thought the film was cack, in comparison to the book
Oh, I stared reading War and Peace but gave up... it's a bit chunky for the commute
Brighton Rock. To be fair, I did start reading it, carried it in my handbag to read whenever I was sitting waiting and I've lost it somewhere
I started reading Lord of the Rings in my teens.
I got bored
I was given the trilogy of books a birthday present a few years ago. They are in pristine condition. I got bored again.
I've tried the DVD.. I get as far as Bilbo leaving the shire and I'm bored.
I guess it's not my cup of tea.
I do love Harry Potter though... the first one is a kid's book, I read it because of the hype - but the later ones are fabulous.

I loved that book......................one of the few books I've read more than once.
The bible
I never got into Lord Of The Rings.

Yes! I'm not the only person in the world then... sometimes it feels that way.

My daughter would read out parts of the Harry Potter books to me, i could never bring myself to read them, (no real reason) but loved how they helped her get into reading.

I read the Illiad and Odyssey for pleasure and I had to read Ulysses for my degree. I ended up loving old Leopold
