I said, "Nah, saw the film". Oh, you would have passed my test, with that clever answer, no matter what, Graham.

Graham, I’ve read precisely one Conrad novel - Nostromo,..it was the most boring thing I’ve ever read, Try his "The Secret Sharer." It's a short story and quite easier to get through. Better yet, find the Orson Welles reading of it. Welles's voice can get a person through anything literary.

Aaaarrrghh!!! I started reading this again. And again (for the third time!) I'm stalled out around Chapter 34. (I skipped the cetacean chapter, by the way). Stalled.... out..... must.... get.... mo... ti... vated......

And the number of times I've had to bring out the dictionary! I wonder if you had to, as well. (I'm tempted to post a few sentences and see if you understood them the first time you read them.)

Once again, I stalled out on this one. I also skipped the opera chapter. Maybe I'm destined never to read it?
