books you've had to stop reading

[version]

I've got Crowds and Power and Auto da Fe but haven't felt like reading them yet.

books you've had to stop reading

I can't think of any. I feel almost obliged to finish a book once started. One that did seriously test my resolve was The Sex Revolts, but I finished it anyway. As opposed to all the people who gave it glowing reviews, who presumably had not actually read it.

I gave up on Ducks, Newburyport. It should have been right up my street but after 100 pages I pulled the plug. I felt it’d have been a good short story. Lots of people I respect claim it’s the book of the century but I really have no desire to ever pick it up again.
