I will look for it in the public library so if I won't like it I haven't spent money for it!

[Hajarath Prasad]

Great! But gave it a try though. It's won Booker of the Bookers :)

[Ahtims]

@ HP, I understand regarding the verbosity part.
phew...

Catch 22 in mine too :P

[Utkarsh]

catch 22 is in my abandoned list too, one of the first. :D but i will start it again soon. i read it too early in my reading journey.

[Gorab, TheGunman]

But even if you abandon it again, it will still be counted as a single vote only :P :P

On another note, one of my all time fav ("The Book Thief") also featuring in this list. And I've abandoned these along with Catch 22:
One Hundred Years of Solitude -> The characters were damn confusing! Weird occurrences.
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance -> Painfully slow.
1984 -> Will give this one another try after some years.

You have any favourites in that list too?

The Broker and The Last Juror by John Grisham.

I love all genres of thrillers and i hate giving up on books halfway but Grisham's books, I just couldn't bring myself to finish.

[Ahtims]

one hundred years was weird. Didn't like it.
After finishing 1984, I was depressed for days together.

Salamandastron by Brian Jacques...I couldn't finish this book no matter what...after 50 or so pages,I just cannot keep reading....I have no idea why...

[Shruti]

Catch 22. I could not finish it even after trying multiple times.
btw I am commenting on this thread for the first time and this good reads app which sucks as it is not showing me recent comments but those dating back to 2010!!!

[Ahtims]

Sherri , you have to use the newest comment option at top right hand corner if the App

[Shruti]

Oh! thank you Shalini. How stupid of me to miss that.
Okay now I feel like I am in the present. :D

[Ahtims]

Shruti, not Sherri (which was an autocorrect by my mobile :-))

[Pragati]

Midnight's children by Salman Rushdie. Even after 3 attempts I could not go past 3 pages of that book and I really don't think I'll be attempting to read it again especially after seeing the movie
