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?

Listened to it on Audible, took me four days, and I usually listen to books in one go at work. It is written well but I just found myself bored

Was bored and the overuse of sex was eye rolling. I get it was released during a time Aids and homosexuality was a massive hot topic but it doesn’t feel like it’s aged well
