Four point one.

Huh, uh, well I I remember reading Catch-22 by um, I think it's Joseph Heller. And um, well I actually started it uh one night. It was um, we'd gone to to France to this campsite. And um, uh, they'd all gone to bed so I went ahead and started it that night. And uh, when I woke up the next morning, I just sat under a tree in the shade and read the whole thing from start to finish. Uh, yeah, I think that's the only book I've ever done that with. Didn't do it before or uh, since, yeah.

B

Um, yeah, yes. So there is a book that um, well, it's a a book from my childhood and it's called Carbonel by Barbara Sleigh. And I always really feel that, well, you know, it's got everything. It's got, what's in it? It's got a a talking cat, a curse, there's a witch, there's loads of children and I really just don't understand why this hasn't been made into a children's film or even an animated film really, to be honest. It's it's just such a good story and it's got really great characters and it's it's a very visual book. So, a lot of the things that it describes, you can you can just sort of see it. And I think it's a missed opportunity. I really think someone in Hollywood should definitely pick this one up.

C

Um, well, there's been a couple of things recently that I've seen on television and then read the book afterwards and one of those was Big Little Lies. Uh, so that was turned into a TV series on HBO, I think. Um, and another was on um, it was a film on Netflix and it was called To All the Boys I've Loved Before, which is a uh, young adult book that I then went on to read afterwards. It wouldn't usually be my thing, but I read the whole series of three books. It was fantastic.

D

So, there's a book I started a couple of times. It's called The Silmarillion by Tolkien. And like it's sort of more information about the world that The Lord of the Rings saga happens in, but I just find the beginning so boring and I cannot finish it. And I know that a friend of mine has told me about some really interesting bits that come up later on, but I cannot get to them. I just keep reading about someone son of someone and it gets really, really boring, really, really soon. So I think I'll have to try again, but I still have not managed to get to the end of it.

Uh, I remember we had to read The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells when I was at school. Um, I was about ten at the time and I remember thinking, oh, this looks, you know, really exciting because I really I really was into science fiction as a kid. And and the cover looked, you know, like really exciting. So I thought it's gonna be fantastic. We're gonna be, you know, doing something really this exciting. It's, you know, we're really lucky but I started it and, oh, gosh, it was just it was just too hard for somebody well, I think of ten years old. Um, the vocabulary was difficult. The sentences went on forever. It's really hard to follow them and it was just frustrating because I just sort of looking at the words and I sort of knew when to turn the page but I hadn't really remembered what I'd just read. Um, so yeah, I didn't get to understand the story at all and um, I the thing is it sort of put me off H. G. Wells because I've not really read any since.

F

Well, I've got to say I've hardly read any classics at all, or any of those ones that win prizes and and stuff that get reviewed in in papers. So, like I've never read To Kill a Mockingbird for example. Um, yeah, you know, all those those classics. I think I've read one Jane Austen book. Um, and I I feel as if I should address this, maybe read some Charles Dickens or and um, I just can't concentrate on it, to be honest. It's just and for me reading is a a way of switching off. So, I don't really want to read anything that's quite a struggle.
