In reply to gethin_allen:
Ive read 8
2 The Lord of the Rings
4 Harry Potter series - JK Rowling
10 Great Expectations - Charles Dickens
16 The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien
18 Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger
40 Winnie the Pooh - AA Milne
42 The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
47 Far From The Madding Crowd - Thomas Hardy
Ive probably started another 20 and havent completed, War and Peace being an example, over 1500 different characters, no wonder I got bored
Find something you enjoy and carry on, have a few beers and listen to Allan Bennett reading winnie the pooh, its a classic. If you dont enjoy it, then dont do it
