Some time I really must get round to another attempt at Ulysses, which I have started at least five times and never finished.
I also have a big hole where American Literature ought to be (with the exception of Fitzgerald - I've read a lot of Fitzgerald), so should really set about filling it.
I have read some Dickens, but I'm not a great admirer - I find the subject matter too sentimental, the plots too reliant on coincidence and the prose style rather too pleased with itself.
I do like Shakespeare, though.
