It's still the only series I've read as it was being written, so I would always look forward to the next one.
There are several I need to read; To Kill A Mockingbird, Of Mice And Men, Catch 22 (which I have at home), etc.
I thought Catcher In The Rye was absolutely shite, and the little I read of Dickens, I really didn't enjoy.

accompanied by a jazz pianist extemporising underneath it all, and that is excellent. The words and his delivery are very pleasing to listen to, but I still can't read him.

perhaps if I read it as an adult I might've been more forgiving.

If I read it now, I don't think I could get past the first few pages.

Don't bother with To Kill A spanking Bird, it is truly awful, plus there is a rabid dog that gets shot, may have my real name. We were forced to read it at school, it was uninteresting, talks about smacked up old women and magnolia or camellia bushes, and yes my namesake gets shot!
