Well, I'm stuck in the middle of Finnegans Wake!

I just finished re-reading Invisible Man By Ellsion
I had to read it in High school and I liked it, but I just didn't feel like I was able to give it the time it deserved so I read it again and it is a very good book. I have also recently re-read The Great Gatsby and A Tale of Two Cities Both of those were much better the second time around!
I read 1984 just a bit ago. This was my third or fourth attempt to read it, but this time I did enjoy it, sometimes it just takes being in a different moment in your life to enjoy a book a guess. If anyone has read 1984 (and I am sure many people have read it!) I wouldn't mind a discussion about it!

Loved A Tale of Two Cities. I read it back to back when it was assigned in high school. I loved it.

I just started my periodic rereading of Huckleberry Finn. One of my favorite books.

I really enjoy Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (don't worry not a lot of mechanical knowledge required for this, but philosophy is another matter) and Stephen King's The Dark Tower series.

Yes, the Pirsig book is absolutely outstanding in many ways.
