I was thinking in terms of classic novels, rather than the usual shite, which I don't tend to buy, because I write enough of that, myself.
Fair enough. Actually, this is why I haven't started Tristram Shandy yet -- I know it's going to take time to wade through it, and I won't give up on it. But at this time of year is just too busy for me to immerse myself in a project this big.
I did get to within 90 pages of the end of Dune when I couldn't take it anymore and stopped reading. (I'm not much of a science fiction fan.)

I still torture myself. I feel like I just have to finish it if I start it like somehow it will all come together and be worth it in the end. The only probelm is this causes me to have about 3 or 4 books that I'm reading at once without finishing. I get bored too easily. I need to learn to focus and quit letting my mind wander off. If a book is really good I just can't put it down, though. I'll sneak to read it at work or at the dinner table. I wish the purely factual books Kabong likes to read could keep my attention like that. Names, dates and places go in one ear and out the other with me and he's like a book of knowledge.
I did the same thing for years. Pride & Prejudice is what finally broke me. God, how I hated that book, lol. I'd made it a little over halfway, suffering through each page, until I thought "WHY am I doing this to myself?" The list of books that I want to read is virtually endless, and new ones get added all the time, I just don't have time for things I don't like, regardless of how good they may be. There are plenty of good books that I DO enjoy, I'll stick with those.

I remember forcing myself through Pride and Prejudice in the 8th grade and finally breaking down about halfway through and getting the cliff notes to get a quick summary of the ending. I do that with movies sometimes, too. If it gets too long or too many dull spots I'll find something else to do and ask Kabong about the ending later. I'm just too curious to not know the ending but too stir-crazy to sit through something I'm not that into.
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

I did this with Moby Dick in the 12th grade. Poor Mrs. Urquhart couldn't have bribed me to read that thing. But 20 years later, I moved to Boston and decided to try it again. (I guess it was the proximity to Nantucket.) And I LOVED it -- I even loved the whaling chapters. So much so that I was having nightmares about being attacked by whales on the open seas and drowning in a pool of whale blood. (Yeah, that wasn't pretty.)
On the other hand, Mrs. Urquhart also assured me I would love the poetry of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and that hasn't happened.

I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire
I am waiting for someone to list something quasi-normal, like something in the "For Dummies" series, or like 80 volumes of the long-standing Western serial "Longarm".
Well.. along with the 'classics' (ie those that you might study in school - shakespeare, bronte, voltaire, rimbaud, descartes, balzac, flaubert, shelley, etc.), the 'contemporary' classics (Kerouac, Miller, etc.), all my Russians (Dostoyevky, Gogol, Bulgakov, Bodganov, etc.), my 'latins' (Borges, Marquez, Gomez-Arcos, amado, etc.), mixed with my reference books, history books, etc. I do have lots of thrillers, Follett, Forsythe, Koonz. etc.. you get my drift. I love those books as well... Can't always be with 'heavy stuff.
Not many interesting ones, I read a lot, but only recently I started buying the books instead of borrowing them from friends or the library. Most of my books are classics:
Frankenstein - Mary Shelley
Dracula - Bram Stoker
A fine Madness - Elliot Baker

I only posted the interesting ones, I have a whole lot of Dutch books, 500+ or something, most of those are not interesting.
How was The Unbearable Lightness of Being? I saw the movie. Is the book worth reading?
There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird
Says you! No way, man. Life is short. There are so many good books to read that are just calling to me, why waste time on something that called like a wolf and ended up being a porcupine?
You know what? I was looking at another one of the shelves of another bookcase, and I thought to myself Damn, I'm interesting Such diverse topics, it's amazing how multi-dimensional I am.

Until Collin gets back on the thread and gives his opinions. here is mine..
YES! It is a masterful novel..... Have you read other stuff by Kundera? Among others, The Joke, Immortality, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting...
He is an increadible author.. also wrote plays, poetry and some essays.
I agree, it's a great book, it's definitely better than the movie.
I've read the joke, great book as well and I will probably read the rest of his books this year.

totally agree. i read madam bovary only until emma died. by then i figured it was the least she could do for boring me to death with her insipidness.
usually i am in the camp of books must be finished, but i made an exception with flaubert.

That is your particular choice sir, but having attained a First from the University of Edinburgh it is of pure consequence - through my learning there - that I use the institution's typography in qualifying my position....
It may interest you to know that I have subsequently gained a pass in my Master's program (which of course you will know does not entail a specific qualification) and through a subtle blend of skill and determination am well on my way to completing my PHD....
And while i may not have delved comprehensively into the more hefty tomes of Shakespeare In General, I do take snotty comments with a good dose of humour....All the while humoring the narcissism of the professed literary master of these pages........H
Ah, a Scottish MA. English MAs are usually graded fail, pass and distinction. We could say, for convenience if not exactness's sake, that it's akin to a first.

I'm pretty disappointed in the lack of Ann Coulter on people's bookshelves :(
in terms of fiction, one of my favorite books of all time is actually master and the margarita, and would never have read it if not for this board.
And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
