Alright?
I recently read The Picture of Dorian Gray. I recently tried reading Catch-22 and didn't really get into it. I have Peter Ackroyd's second history of England lined up to go next. After that I may try to read A Tale of Two Cities, though I'll probably fail. Lurking in the mist, as always, is Patrick O'Brien's Aubrey and Maturin series.

I've tried & failed with Catch-22 about 6 times. Just can't.

Completely agree, I just found it frustrating.
Then again, I've been battling with Gravity's Rainbow for a few years now, it's funnier than Catch-22 but about as hard to get into. Next time I have to do a long train journey I'll take it with me and have a long session with it.

It's a real shame, because unlike Catch-22 which I haven't enjoyed on any of the times I've tried to read it, it is actually a good read, it's just extremely hard going.

Ackroyd's London Under is excellent

Dorian Gray I thought was a work of genius.

It was pretty enjoyable.
I was rather surprised by how chaste it was.
