Coming back to this goal now after a bit of a break, so lets see where I am now

Have read To Kill a Mocking bird – resisted this for ages as I had a pre-concieved notion of what it was about. Turns out I was wrong, and absolutely loved it!
Catch 22 – was a difficult read. I can see why it’s on the list, lots of really clever bits and some sections really touching. But wouldn’t be my favourite. At all.
A Suitable Boy broke my heart, and cost me a fortune in overdue fees from my local library (I knew if I brought it back to renew it, I wouldn’t bring it home again). The librarian said I was the first person he knew who had actually finished it. Very nicely written, undoubtedly, but it goes on and on and I felt very disappointed that it just ended rather than came to a conclusion.
Crime and Punishment is another one I didn’t expect to like, but a friend was clearing out their bookshelves and more or less forced it on me….and it was really good. Powerful.
