I'm on page 157. I haven't picked it up in 3 months. I remember vague details of what I read so far. Should I start over or continue? If I start over, I doubt I'll ever finish it.

Skim what you've read so far; give it an hour or maybe two.
Try putting it down and coming back to it later. Maybe read something else.
I recommend The Infinite Jest by DFW

3 months? jeez, i'd say you're better off rereading those 157 pages and continue reading the book in its entirety when you have ample time to do so. why do you think you won't finish it? time constraints? life circumstances? find the novel boring? if it's the last one, maybe put off reading it some other time.

>tfw took my book mark out of it today
I'll start it again in a year or so. For now it's officially not being read. I no longer have to feel bad about always starting new books and constantly having two books started.

don't feel bad about not finishing books you're not into. i had to put down Absalom, Absalom! a couple of years ago, tried it again last month, and it finally clicked. sometimes you have to be in the mood as well as mentally in the right time for it.
I'm in the same place with the bible, dropped it after the first four books of moses.
When it's good it's good but too much of it is shit.
You failed the /lit/mus test.
>>7846806
nobody in /lit/ read that shit.
It is a /mu/'s book.
Read a synopsis/wiki entry of the plot until you start seeing unfamiliar things, then try going back in.

I've been in this state for about seven months. Think I'll try again in 7 months. Really guilty I paid so much for it though.
it's not even a hard book you plebs
i read it in 3 weeks the first time and 4 the second time

/lit/, /mu/, /his/. . . They're all just spokes on a wheel.

You sound retarded.
>tfw reading the marijuana chapter at the beginning
>tfw stoned earlier and ate 3/4ths of a Louisiana crunch cake
>tfw he brings up pepto bismal
>tfw all you want is pepto bismal

If you don't finished a book in two weeks you haven't really read it. For a book as long as Infinite Jest you can extent that for six weeks
