I started reading for fun a few years ago and started with the top 100 classics as voted by the readers of penguin books.
While I’ve loved some of them, and enjoyed others even if they weren’t my cup of tea, there have been some that I’ve had to grind them down page by page until they are finish.
I want to finish all 100 as it’s the challenge I set myself, so what do you do get through a book that you aren’t enjoying/connecting with?
Sorry if this had already been asked, I only joined yesterday!
Which ones that you’ve read so far have you had to grind through? I have on intention of reading them all, but once every year or so I’ll try a classic. I’m halfway through Catch-22 and it’s been a struggle. I just picked it back up yesterday after two weeks reading something else.
To the lighthouse by Virginia Woolf and the Iliad by homer were 2 that spring to mind.
Though the latter I think is because it doesn’t translate well into modern English
