    Book Suggestions

    What’s a book you thought you’d like but had to suffer through to finish?

    Hello book lovers! What is a book you thought you’d like but had to suffer through, or what is a book you DNF’d almost instantly?

    I am peculiar, so the books you did not like, I may just be able to read, like myself, or maybe one I will end up disliking as well but I don’t read enough yet to have a long list, but I just might with your suggestions!

      house of darkness house of light…..andrea perron is a shit writer…only read it because i live near “the conjuring ” house and read her crappy book way before hollywood made the stupid movie

      and anna karenina… skipped the whole middle part and read only the first few chapters and the last….

      i will not read a book that does not grab me from the start….

      Tampa by Alissa Nutting was a DNF before even finishing the first chapter. I felt like I was going to be placed on some list for reading that…

      The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Pulitzer prize winner and gifted to me at Christmas. I hated it but read it till the end because, well, it won that award so it must be good, right? Nope, hated the ending too.

      Lonesome Dove. I have not finished it yet and left it at 50%.

      It was a little too long, but want to finish it eventually.

      Gravity’s Rainbow – what a slog, and ultimately not particularly rewarding

      Mistborn. Should have been right up my alley, so I was very disappointed. 

      Man, all that flaring and repetitive explanation was painful.. and the unconvincing juvenile romance downright off-putting.

      A Ladder to the Sky by John Boyne. I had read The Heart’s Incredible Furies and loved it. Unfortunately I didn’t think A Ladder to the Sky was anywhere near as good and I couldn’t finish it

      The Road, may be linguistically an artistically nice, but such a painfully boring read

      A Little Life. I promised myself it was going to get better. It didn’t. It got worse. The story, writing, emotion, trauma. Just 736 pages of never again or recommend.

      Ulysses!!

      I love The Odyssey. I love the idea of a literary epic. But James Joyce’s prose… ugh.

      I shamelessly DNF’ed and won’t be returning.
