I'm in a bit of a listy mood of late.

Anyway back on topic I think most of us here like to read but I also think alot of us find it difficult to get the time to do it (I for one tend to read lazy books by ecentrics, like the man who traded one red paper clip all the way up to a house, or a man who decided he was only going to answer every question he was asked with a yes and the amazing adventures they go on).

But there are books on my list that I want to read.

For me its mainly:

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman by Laurence Sterne

written in 1759 (and over the next 10 years it was published in 9 volumes).

The book is about tristram shandy and he is attempting to write his life story but the on going joke in the book is that he cant say anything simply. Its only in volume three that he is born (it took him three books).

The story is so long and complex its been said its impossible to make it into a film (though it was attempted with a cock and bull story and there method of adapting it was to not try at all).

But i cant see myself finding time for this for a while.
