Only 6? — 1 year ago

Well, I can’t say as I blame them. Some of these books are bricks. Ulysses, which I’ve read and think a worthwhile read, is a brick. Not only is is very long, it is very complicated. If that is a sample of what’s on the list, I’m amazed anyone has read even 6.

(Of course, Winnie the Pooh hardly qualifies on those charges.)
