    They obviously haven't read some of the threads on here....out of the list just 'To the Lighthouse' not really a difficult read.

    That's what I was thinking, quite a pageturner by EngLit classics standards.

    Catch 22. Every feckin page was tedious drivel. But the very fact that i wanted to chuck it into the fire deemed me not insane so I was forced to carry on ....

    The toughest book I ever had was a "Where's Wally" bumper annual. Had me pulling my hair out for days at a time...........................

    ...in a similar vein I always struggled with those flipping Magic Eye books. Could never get them to work...

    Ha! ha! Very good Bld-10a. Quite one of the most brilliant books ever written of course.
    I could never bring myself to read anything by Jeffrey Archer but that is for entirely different reasons.

    As a simple man, I think books are meant to entertain. If it's a struggle it is not a very good book as far as I am concerned.

    I agree - it's chick-lit for me - I like nice easy going books.
    To be fair, Algarve does strike me as a chick-lit sort of guy.

    Has anyone read the bible? Start to finish, all the way through. I got about halfway through Deuteronomy before giving up. Overrated.
