What book are you currently stuck with and why?
Gulliver's Travels here. I loved it the first time I read it, but now it looks too bloody sterile and artificial. He goes on and on describing events as if he were writing some sort of practical manual and many parts of the book are too shallow - the discussio with the king in Brobdingnag, for instance, is just the type of criticism that you expect to find in some sort of newspaper or something.
I still enjoyed some of it very much, such as the description of the fight with the rats and the way that birds would simply remove food from his mouth. But, in general, I haven't enjoyed it nearly as much as I did the first time.
Also, I can only read one book at a time for some reason, so it kills me whenever I get stuck in a particular book. Anyone else has this problem?
