For school, just the ones I had to read, same thing now in the university, only that I prefer the stories I read at school over the law school things I have to read now.

Because of that, I dont read if Im not obligated.

But I do remember liking some books from my school years, like the catcher in the rye and 100 years of solitude, only that unlike a movie, its tedious to read again a whole book you liked once, could be like rewatching the whole DBZ series or playing a huge RPG again xD

Is that book any good? I've been meaning to read it.

I liked it, it might not be for everyone but if it helps, its very recognized and considered a great book by guys who are into them. Its very long and sometimes you can get confused since lots of characters in different times share the same names.

The book is only 480 pages long (accoring to the website of the book's publisher here in Romania), so that's definately not what I would call "long" (a book has to be close to or be over 1000 pages to be considered "long"). I'll definately pick it up when I have the time.
