The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry question

I loved this book and did not want it to end,I highly recommend all book lovers read this .You will laugh,cry and be surprised.

There is only one book that I have marked as read that I got half way through and never finished it. "The Corrections" But I did pick up not one but two copies of the book since then and I will read it again one day. It got such good ratings. Maybe I wasn't in a good place in my life when I tried to read it the first time.

None. If I don't like a book I don't read it or if I read it and don't like it that much I won't lie about it. There is absolutely no one I want to impress with my taste in books.

My Antonia and On The Road - University reading that I just skimmed through. I do really, really mean to go back to them!

Oh, and a weird book that a colleague of mine wrote and self-published - he was an older guy and it had a lot of sex scenes and as I read, I could hear it in my head in his voice - scarred me for life, I won't be picking THAT up again!!

Yikes to the colleague book and I didn't like On the Road, but I will push My Antonia. I loved it for its imagery & symbolism. In fact, I went on to read a lot of Cather after that since I liked it so much.

The Bible. I have never gotten through all of the old testament or Revelations, but I think I've read enough to get the gist of the thing.

Also, in grammar school I remember writing book reports for two years in a row on Black Beauty, which I never actually read.

In high school I pretended to have read Portrait of a Lady by Henry James.

But, usually now I admit what books I have not read, since there is no grade attached.

There is a book on my bookshelf that sits and stares at me like a menacing Buddah; it is Tolstoy's WAR and PEACE. At first I thought that it was the size that intimidated me; however, ANNA KARINNINA is equally as robust and that I loved. Could it be the topic, could it be that I don't read many Russian authors or could it be that it's just not my cup of tea? I have tried many times and failed = mea culpa !

I'm with Judith. None. In my old age, I stop reading when a book doesn't appeal to me, and being very opinionated, I am happy to tell people why. lol

I could say War and Peace, but I actually finished it. It only took me about 10 years. I hate books about war so I read this only when there was nothing else to do, such as it was the only book available when I was hospitalized.

Bleak House by Dickens in University. I know... Dickens right? Everyone LOVES Dickens, but I just could not get through it! I do regret it though....

All the Harry Potter books! I know. I know.

I only have one book I lied about reading. It was a self-published book written by a friend of a friend. I got through about a third and varely skimmed the rest - it was really, really bad.

The only book i pretended to have read but had not done so was in high school (i had to do a book report and i didn't want to finish the book): Moby Dick. I gave it another try a couple years ago, but still couldn't get into it.
