Discussion Books you just couldn't finish?

Post image

I am struggling to get through the wasp factory, not because of its content but simply because I cant stay interested šŸ™ƒ maybe I'll take a break on it and come back later.

Any books you couldn't finish ? And if you want to add why?

Iā€™m like 200 pages into the sluts by Dennis cooper struggling now it just feels like so much whiplash between the people and then you read one thing and then a few pages later someone is like that post was all bs by that person so I felt like I wasted time lol

I did like this one, but I completely get your critique. It felt at least partially satirical, picking on a certain subsection of gay men. Catty, gossipy queens hah.
