For that matter don't think I have ever ready a 1000 page book. Read the Lord of the Rings when a teen but that was more for escape from an abusive mother. Now, I just can't get through it.

Have always wished I loved the classics, but alas. I'll just stick to cotton candy I guess.
Hmmm. Fascinating. So what DO you read?
