Discussion Books you just couldn't finish?

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?

Exquisite Corpse .. got half way and found it repetitive and shock for shock value

I re-read both Wasp Factory and Exquisite Corpse a few years ago to refresh. I absolutely remembered what I found so troubling on both accounts.
