I prefer the classics with female heroines. My favourite book is Vanity Fair. Currently reading The Forsyte Saga.
I belong to two book clubs which mean you read books you might not necessarily select yourself. Other people's comments are always interesting. As I get older I find it difficult to remember a book once finished.
I have always found it a struggle to finish a book I am not enjoying and normally know if I'm going to give up by Chapter 3.
