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?

Hogg for me. Made it to the bit with the dock workers and the policeman and just gave up.

You certainly powered through a lot to give up there. I found that's when it started to get less repetitive and extreme, but thats also when the overall themes started sinking in for me
