Well done to the one who said Stephen King. The rest are probably playing to the balcolny.

I re-read The Lord Of The Rings for the umpteenth time, including all the introductions and appendices.
I have also read some books by early Golden Age mystery writers: Freeman Wills Croft and Anna Catherine Green
Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

I've just done my regular reading, new books by my favorite authors and rereading my favorite series. "Lockdown" hasn't been hard on me, I'm an old lady and wasn't doing that much anyway. I limit the amount of shopping I do and I don't poke around in "antique" shops that are really just junk stores (but fun). My husband is home 24/7 now but I'm relieved he's working from home even though it "cramps my style".

Bleak House was pretty long. Currently reading Moby Dick, which if I'm being honest I think has been meh so far. (I could do without all the chapters about the characteristics of whales and the history of their depictions and stuff like that.) I plan on reading either Little Dorrit or David Copperfield soon, but I don't know exactly when.

Varney the Vampire.
I bought this book about a decade ago or so, and never got around to reading it, I'll be honest, the length kind of put me off, it took TWO MONTHS for me to read, and the first half of the book went very fast, but then the plot starts repeating itself every chapter, and it got a lot more monotonous and harder to get through, but in the final part it got interesting again, though confusing. But man did I ever feel accomplished when I finally finished that one.
So as bad as the pandemic is, there are some personal silver linings that have come out of it, some people for the first time in their lives had the TIME to actually do something they always wanted to but never got around to.

Currently reading Hemingway, For Whom The Bell Tolls
A bit slow as it leads to the battle scene.
Finished: Orwell, 1984 and Sinclair Lewis, Elmer Gantry.
Could not get far into Bronte, Pride and Prejudice or Dostoevsky, The Possessed.
