I'm reading Great Expectations for the first time. I've shied away from Dickens for years because I hated Pickwick Papers and only just got through Oliver Twist. I'm actually really enjoying this one, and Pip's character seems so real.
That book was the bane of my 14-year-old existence lol. I'm an avid reader, and I love almost every book I come across, but...just couldn't get through that one. Maybe I was too young.
The story line was good, though.
Unlike Confederacy of Dunces. Ugh. Bane of my 13-year-old existence :cover:
Maybe it is an age thing. Like I said, I haven't touched Dickens since my early teens, but my first attempt at reconciliation in my twenties seems to be going splendidly.
Then again, I should try Moby Dick to fully test this theory. I've never gotten past the first chapter, and lord knows I've tried many many times.
I finished off Guards, Guards! by Terry Pratchett last night, and I'm currently reading his Men At Arms. Not my first time through on either work, but his books hold up well to repeated readings.
Monstrous Regiment is good, Small Gods is one of the most wickedly insightful works on religion I've read, and I haven't had a chance to check out Wee Free Men yet.
It's pretty good. I like his take on witches. It isn't a discworld novel though - I believe it's a standalone, but there may be a couple similar or related novels.
THUD! - Terry Pratchett.
