I haven't done as much reading since I left school. I burned myself out on dense books I think. I believe the last one I finished was The Magus, by John Fowles. It was a fascinating read, but in my opinion it should have ended 160 pages before it did. It might just be that I'm a jaded reader though, a little. Let's see, underground cult of psychiatrists holding mock court in halloween costumes...yeah, and?
That's the last one I recall finishing becasue it took me so long to get through those last pages. Same with Return of the King. Took me several years to get through that. I was halfway through the first book when the first Jackson movie came out. Fortunately, my reading memory is good.
