Books I Never Finished

I seldom Do Not finish reading a book, but there are exceptions
"The Godfather" was unreadable, I was embarrassed by the stupidity of the main character in "The Idiot", I lost track of the characters in "Gravity's Rainbow", I lost "All My Friends Are Going To Be Strangers" and "Sister Carrie" before I could finish them and "The Naked And The Dead" read like Mailer was writing about cartoon characters.

.


And this one just seemed like a lot words and no point and I didn't care enough to keep reading. Sister Carrie might be worth trying to read it again. Life is short. I have stuck it out with a lot of whales that may not have deserved the attention and muddled through enough bad writing to last a life time.
