I am sitting here, green with envy at all of the books you've had time to read! I have a study full of books at home, very few of which I have read in full - I dip in and extract what I need for my work, and lay them aside until next time. I will, one of these days when I finally manage to retire, read some of them from cover to cover - I would love to get through the whole of E.P.Thompson's The Making of the English Working Class, which is a classic (I've read about a third of it, but not in sequence!)
But I suppose I've not done too badly, over the years. - Lord of the Rings at least five times, all of Dickens novels bar Dombey and Son (scheduled for the Yuletide holiday.) Anna Karenina, biographies of a variety of British politicians, and an aborted attempt at War and Peace, which I must try again; all have figured on my reading list. My current long book, which is being read three pages at a time each night before I drop off to sleep, is Harrison Salisbury's 900 Days: the siege of Leningrad, which is fascinating, despite being very badly written.
