And you didn't mind it? matched

I used to have a lot of fun reading that book. matched

I haven't read it in a while. matched

It didn't feel fun to me, but maybe I just didn't approach it in the right way. matched

I actually like to reread. matched

You don't like it? matched

And it was essentially his list of the best novels written in the 20th century. matched

Extremely idiosyncratic. matched

It was basically an author included got one book. matched

I think like Doris Lessing got the Golden Notebook for it. matched

Heller got Catch-22. matched

Anyway, a lot of, and it was a lot of, you know, sort of second and third tier British writers that I had never heard of at the time. matched

I don't even know why I bring it up, but it was something that I remember reading thinking, oh, I like this, and I was disappointed. matched

That's what reading, sometimes reading, all right, how much of reading for you is disappointment? matched
