I tried to read "Catch 22" and "Brave New World" and I couldn't make it.
The only way you could get me to read "War and Peace" is if I got to have sex with Mark Ruffalo for the same number of hours it took me to read the book.
And I'm certain you would make sure it takes as long as you possibly can. However, you would want to read it as quickly as poss Mr. Dirty, because you would want to get to the sex as soon as you can....
