Abandoned Books
I am usually reluctant to not finish a book, but as my time becomes more precious, there are some I just don't get involved in. I'm interested to see what others give up on and why. I don't know if there is a way to add comments and people can tell us when we should give it another try, but that would be great also.

Don't try too hard to read books that don't draw you in. Most of the time people do that is so that they seem 'well-read'. From personal experience just drop it and read something that interests you.As for the list, Heart of Darkness bored me to sleep. Twice.
I'm currently reading The Scarlet Letter for school and i have to say its so hard for me to get through. If i didn't have to read it i would have a banded it a long time ago.

have to say i half and half agree with you Andrei. I've reached the stage where life is too short to force myself to read books others imply are necessary for my rounded well being but i adored the Heart of Darkness.
i heard life of pi was really good, but is is SO BORING. they say it gets better but i just don't have the time or patience, so i gave up on it and started reading books that interests me.
When I was much younger, I made it a point to finish any book I started. I now consider that policy a less than optimum use of my time.
