I think Watership Down is my favorite non-read book.

I think Watership Down is my favorite non-read book. Hey. I've not read that book as well. Couldn't put it down while I wasn't reading it. A masterpiece. |

Indeed. The level of enjoyment I experienced not reading that book was off the chart, near euphoria.

I hear that in the latter stages of thirstation, one experiences euphoria. That seems likely, as most people who suffer from thirstation aren't reading 'Watership Down' during said thirstation.

An interesting comment, dynomite though I'm not sure how it applies to the topic. But then I was always a bit of a dim bulb.  |

I did read one of the books mentioned: Catcher In The Rye. It was for high school English class. You're not missing much, atomic. Catcher is way overrated.
I have Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke but don't have the willpower to read it (yet).
Only read the first few chapters of Lord of the Rings, then got bored. And annoyed with Frodo. I'd rather just watch Peter Jackson's LOTR movies.

Her description left me with the same impression. Don't bother. Not a problem I'm in no way tempted. I managed to get midway through the Two Towers before I got bogged down with Sam, Frodo and Gollum gradually making their way through the mountains. All I can say is thank God for Peter Jackson. |

The best book i never read was "How to read a book for Dummies". That sounds like it would be a very instructive book for me. My only question is: How do you read said book to learn to read a book if you don't know how to read a book? ;D |

At the moment the best book I've never read is Fatal Revenant. I hope to remedy that situation at the earliest opportunity.
