Just remembered "The Rainmaker" was my first serious/big novel (not counting the hundreds of Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew/Famous Fives).
Of course I struggled through the book...surprised that John Grisham needed 3 pages to describe the night outside (which in my opinion was utterly irrelevant)...skipped a few pages every now n then...finishing it became a challenge...
and the indescribable delight when I finished it... :)

And another memorable read...the "Fountainhead"...first attempted in Apr 2004...deserted after 50 pages...and the next, more determined attempt in May 2005...10-20 pages at a time...and Oct 29, 2005 when I finally finished it... :)
