aulsmith: Not sure one needs to finish, but sampling from time to time is fun.

merrystar : I actually did read these all the way through one summer.

Charon07 : One of my favorite books of all time

merrystar : list duplicate

ahef1963: Have never read past the first chapter or so, despite several attempts.
