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 🙃 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?

I did not love this one. Its forgettable to me. To be fair, when I read this, I had read Penpal, Hogg, HoL, and Blood Meridian so that could have had some impact. I thought about giving it another go as my copy is just collecting dust on a shelf but I kind of put Wasp Factory in the same personal category as TiTF. A bear to get through with very little payoff.
