We all have at least one: the title(s) that you still haven't finished weeks, months, even years after you started reading it, but nevertheless you are determined to finish... someday.

Let's commiserate. What's on your stuck book list?

2666 by Roberto Bolaño - it took me a couple of goes to get through the first section, but I was finally getting into it, when it suddenly just changes completely, into an entirely different story.

I will have another go at some point, but I'm in no rush.
