I'm in the middle of A Tale of Two Cities and I want to blow my brains out but I'm going to finish it because of that fearful reverence we all share for "the canon"

I've dropped three books i hated. Two i still own cus they're old, nice books and one is a Dostoyevsky.

Read what you enjoy OP

I didn't finish "Women" by Charles Bukowski

Don't feel bad

I powered through the abominably bad Pride and Prejudice. I can power through anything.

I gave up on Pynchon's V when I was like 100 pages from the end, I cannot explain the feeling but the whole novel felt insincere and just estranged from me. I did like the chapter with the priest in the sewers though. Afterwards I read Absalom, Absalom and I felt much better.

Couldn't finish The Turn of the Screw last month and it's the only book I didn't finish in my entire life.

quit on Lolita at about the halfway point.

Lucky me I guess, but what I couldn't stand was his writing style. I actually cared about what was going to happen.
