books that you are supposed to like, that you want to like, that went wrong halfway through, etc.
my blatant 'unfinished' is elias canetti's auto-da-fé, which is staring back at me now. i've had it for a good eight years, have tried on and off to read it but have been unable to beyond the part where kien meets a gambling hunchback (or something like that). the main character is impossible to like, but that hasn't stopped me before. there is just something nerve-wracking about it.. everything feels arthritic, lifeless. i know this is the point but it's unreadable!
