I would suggest you begin reading it NOW. Old Age shows up a lot faster than you suppose. Besides that, once you get a bit of life "under your belt," your reading tastes change: what you like in your 20s might become ridiculous in your 30s. Unless the books are considered "classics," chances are, they're not going to hold up even 10 years. Good luck.

Gormenghast is as classic as postwar books get.

I have not tried the long Russian novels other than Crime and Punishment which I was assigned in school. I may tackle them in retirement.

I'm going to be 58 in a few months. My waiting period is over. My goal over the next few years is to read all this "save for later" books.
