reading is so much more enjoyable when there’s no one breathing down your neck
So very true. My high school English teacher destroyed Charles Dickens for me. There’s nothing in the world that would make me want to ever read “Great Expectations” again.
The LOR trilogy is top notch - glad you are enjoying it.
I guess I would have to pick “Don Quixote” since I’d finally have plenty of time on my hands to read it.
