Amazingly enough, I just finished reading "Anne of Green Gables"--for the first time as far as I can recall. One would think that it would have been read 55-60 years ago, eh? There are many on the list that I've not read (and, as you know, I have my own "to read" listing that I drag to the library with me.) You, on the other hand, have done well with the posted list! Cop Car
P.S. About 10 years ago, I tried to read "Ulysses". It must be a reflection upon my intelligence (lack thereof) that I thought the book awful, senseless, and yucky lewd--at least in the first third of it, which is all that I could force myself to read. (By contrast, though I found "The Gulag Archipelago" brutal to my psyche, I did finish reading it--about 17 years ago.) CC
CopCar,
I have been a huge bookworm all my life. Many of the books I marked as read I read years ago. For example "Anne of Green Gables" I read as a girl. I still remember it though and I hope yopu enjoyed it as much as I did. (Do you realise that it was the first of a series - I've read many of those too.)
I don't have a "to read" list for the library, I just take out whatever looks interesting to me. Because of the cataracts, I am now looking at and reading only large print books and am finding an intriguing mixture of types of books and authors, many of which aren't found on the shelves of books with "ordinary" sized print.
I must admit I've never read "Ulyssys" - you are not the first person who has commented on how difficult it is to read, which has always put me off. (Anyway, if you ever do your blog again you can put on your own list of books. {grin})
Yes, I knew of the series, but didn't check out any of the others, this go. Those books would probably have been more enjoyable at a much, much, much younger age. I, too, read the large print books--so much less taxing.
I should have commented on "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn". It was one of the first books that I read after retiring. It was not much like what I thought I remembered of the movie--that I saw in the 1940s, I think! CC
