Catcher in the rye I found so dull I didn't finish. And Karenina even more emphatically so.
I agree with you about Karenina, it's tiring and I probably wouldn't have pushed myself to finish it if it wasn't so famous and recommended to me by various people. Catcher in the rye I found anything but dull, mostly because the book is so short and some places really talks to you.

Anyone ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? I have had for a while now but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Had to read it for school. Thought it was okay back then. Would've probably liked it more if I read it by choice. Actually, other than Chrysalids - which was great - it was the only book out of the 9 or so on the syllabus that I bothered to read.

The Giver was probably the only book I enjoyed reading that I was required to read in school.

I want Martin to read catch-22 just to read what he would say about it, his take on books seems to be similar to Jacks on western movies :p
Come on! It was only one movie...though I am extremely picky when it comes to movies but I still watch a lot.

Several times. It should be required reading for most Americans.
