It's OK not to like things and it's OK to change your mind. I didn't like discworld and I changed my mind. It's also OK not to read things. I've never finished Ulysses or seen the point of Finnigans wake or Buddenbrooks or heaps of other great works.

I love Mansfield Park. My partner hates it. Even in Austen you can pick and chose which bit of ivory to pick up.

Make 2025 the year of not reading At Swim-Two-Birds !!

I did read it, many years ago but I may decide not to re read it.

Unlike wake, it's usefully short

Regrettably it's not about a bicycle or de selby

Pffft, readers, mar ná beidh ár leithéidí arís ann, who's got that kind of time anymore?
