If I don't enjoy a book Itend to stop reading it
All that "always finish what you start" stuff is cobblers imo and the source of much needlessly wasted time. |

A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking - good title but unreadable (when I tried 15 yeas ago). One of those trendy books that is probably read by about 10% of those who by it.

I am staggered, and not a little disheartened, that Shakespeare should be mentioned. I agree that Dickens is overrated.
Try Hardy's poetry; he's one of my favourite poets. |

Can't stand Dickens, personally. Umberto Eco - drivel after Name of the Rose.

Heart of Darkness is another turgid, though mercifully short, tome. I wonder how many people have read it - or claimed to have loved it, after watching Apocalypse Now.

Great Expectations. It wasn't all that i had hoped for.

LOl. It was the same with the movie "Blow UP". It was a big let down. :)

Hardy!! omg! Far From The Madding Crowd a masterpiece. Includes one of the most romantic lines ever written by man. Shame it was used in the last episode of The Vicar of Dibley!

James Joyce's mate, Samuel Beckett, they must have had a great laugh seeing who could write the most unintelligible work.
I reckon Beckett wins with Waiting For odot. |
