What book have you tried to read but have never done so?

[Jaime]

Another member made me think about some books that I have prepared to read but never done so. There are several that fall into that category. I have resolved to read some of these books this year. What about you?

[Carolyn F.]

and , both books I couldn't finish but unlike you, I'm not planning on going back for another try.

Kristen Lavransdatter by Sigrid Unset - my beloved grandmother's favorite book. She marked in the fly leaf each time she read it. And, yes, I have her copy!Sigrid Unset

[Jaime]

Carolyn, I, too have abandoned several books: Symphony by Charles Grant is one I have tried but will never try again.

IT by stephen king; started it many times but never finished it.

[Angela]

Sarum by Edward Rutherford. I've tried to read it about five times, always get to the same bit, and give up.

[Jaime]

I have tried to start Atlas Shrugged but never have.

[Tammy]

War and peace

[Tammy]

Also the jungle by upton Sinclair. Still trying to get through that one.

[Donna]

Cloud Atlas - found it difficult to get into. It has so many good reviews, perhaps I should try it again

The Knife of Never Letting Go ...... The writing style is so new to me. :\ I have this book for almost a year now.

I have the Chaos Walking books in my TBR pile actually. What is the writing style like?

Finnegans Wake

I finally made it through Ulysses in audio, but this one eludes me. Above I saw "Violin" and would have agreed with that one, but I was stuck on a plane with it, and about 200 pages in it got better, so I finished it. It would otherwise be on this list though...

[Jaime]

Life of Pi is another that has sat on my bookshelf but never read, yet.

[Darlene]

Started to read Gilead, which was an award-winning book, a couple of times, and just couldn't get into it.

[Jaime]

I have thought of reading Gilead but never attempted it.
