What are some books you started reading but never finished?
for me it is the bible, dune, the karamazov brother and the one I'm reading now (does that count?)

The Bible, Atlas Shrugged, Gravity's Rainbow

and nothing of value was lost

American Psycho. I would've finished it, but the hardrive I had the pdf on failed, and it was shit anyway. I might still finish it at some point just to say I did, but it's garbage.

For whom the bell tolls, hermingway.

Tropic of Cancer. I thought it'd be right up my alley since I enjoyed Bukowski and Hamsun but I just couldn't stand it. Must have not been the right time.

The Unnameable. My first Beckett. Had no idea what I was getting into and I dived right off the deep end. Will get back to it some day.

Winter Stories by Isak Dinesen. Couldn't stand the didacticism.

>>
War and Peace

the world as will and representation, schopenhauer
