I'm wondering if I tried this one too young - I was about 16, hated it, never went back.

Sally | 2 comments I was probably 16 too when I read it (them) as I remember talking about it during my Saturday job in a dry cleaner's. Always a slow reader, I hated reading. This was different. Now I'm happy I read slowly - good books last longer! These are magical books, real but bizarre. I tried recently to read them again, but couldn't...I remember every word!

Tristram Shandy - good idea! I'll go back to it now, in the spirit of Sally's slow read...
