The ever-lovin' book meme.

Book you keep meaning to read that always gets bumped to second place by new purchases: Um, besides everything on my shelves?

Book you put down halfway through and never got back to: The Once and Future King. (T. H. White?) Twice, in fact.

Book you love and can never convince anyone else to read: The Schrödinger's Cat Trilogy, by Robert Anton

The Once and Future King. (T. H. White?) Twice, in fact.

Oh, that one's a must-read. Even if you skip the middle, you've still got to read the very last section -- The Candle in the Wind. It's only about a hundred pages. (And when you're done with it, you'll laugh at this icon. Promise.)

You secretly love Dickens. Dickens is your friend. He's Our Mutual Friend, as a matter of fact....long chapters do not scare you. Scads of secondary characters do not scare you. Purple prose does not scare you. You want to curl up in from of a roaring fire with Nicholas Nickleby right now, in fact.

*subliminal off* ;)

Lord Dunsany! I was reading Time and the Gods recently, and was rather impressed.

I avoid Dickens too, after a bad experience with Great Expectations in school - I think it was perhaps the scary old mad shouting teacher that put me off...
