Any chance you could spoil everythingSpoiler:I can't be more specific.
Insomnia...it just never could get a firm grasp on my attention. I finally put it down for good about a 3rd of the way through. I thought I could bulldoze my through it for the sake of getting to the end like I did with the last 3 DT books but no dice.

I'm an Insomnia fan too
I'm finding "A Rage In Harlem" quite boring too...if it was any longer I probably wouldn't bother - but I think I can finish it by this afternoon, so I'll persevere.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Collection. I got the ending spoiled to me accidently on this site, and since then I haven't even bothered to pick up last book even though I was almost done.

Insomnia by SK. I was inturupted about 3/4 of the way through when I started reading Pet Cemetery. I sort of forgot all about Insomnia, and now of course I am reading the DT series. I will finish it eventually.
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. - Edgar Allan Poe
Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. - H.P. Lovecraft
I never finished Lisey's Story yet...

This is usually taught in junior high here, but somehow I missed that. I started trying to read it approximately 3 years ago. I'm only about 1/2 done, and I can't seem to bring myself to pick it up again. Yet.*Nikolett, I adore you. This is one of the books I hate with all my heart.
*I will finish it one day, but only because I, too, am one of those driven to finish a book.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.
Puscifer, "The Humbling River"
It's a rare thing when I can't finish a book I start.... But it's been known to happen.
Books I've started but haven't finished: Lord of the Flies, The Mists of Avalon (though I'm sure that can and will change at some point, in both cases), and Ben-Hur (which I'm less confident about, though I want to like that too).
Odd thing is, I've seen the movies of all of those, and enjoyed them.... What the hey?
EDIT: And where did that "John F. Kennedy" under my name come from...? Not that I'm complaining--JFK was my favorite president, just curious.
The books that I've never finished: Needful Things and Gerald's Game. I doubt I'll pick them up again any time soon since I just got my new books in.
The one book that I do have to give a shout out to is Lisey's Story. Man, I couldn't get into that book at first, put it down two or three times and finally just took the plunge and raced through to the end. I'm so glad I did - it's a really good book, in my top five for SK.
i found lord of the flies really good...

"Call me Ishmael"--Moby Dick. And I was an English major in college! That book is terrible!
John
What's the problem with it?
Roland would have understood.
It's terribly written, and the story (about one man's obsession with a white whale) isn't that good either. Yet it's considered by many to be a "classic". One section of the book goes on for 60+ pages discussing whale blubber! Yech!!
John
I have never touched that book but one day I will read it because there are two types of people - who love it and who can't stand it.
Roland would have understood.
I am one of those who love it........

Why?
John
don't know. To answer the question I think I'll have to re-read it (which I'll do with pleasure as soon as I can get it). I read it about fifteen years ago, was absolutely engrossed even though I had, of course, known what it was about. I still remember it very well, but not the text, - rather, like one remembers a very vivid dream; as Mr.King put it, there definitely was that hole in the middle of the page that made me feel I was there.

I have personally made it my police NEVER to read that book.
