To the Lighthouse

This.

I don't think they ever get there, let alone even starting out.

This.

It's the needlessly short sentences that get my goat.

She had known happiness, exquisite happiness, intense happiness, and it silvered the rough waves a little more brightly, as daylight faded, and the blue went out of the sea and it rolled in waves of pure lemon which curved and swelled and broke upon the beach and the ecstasy burst in her eyes and waves of pure delight raced over the floor of her mind and she felt, It is enough! It is enough!

We had a thread on this a few weeks ago.

And it's still the same book for me - The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman. I've tried starting it so many times but keep giving up.

The modern book that defeated me was Thomas Pynchon's Mason and Dixon. I love Pynchon's stuff but this absolutely defeated me

Another vote for Lord of the Rings.

I tried but just found it really boring. I just didn’t care.

Another one is Kate Mosse. She lives locally to me but I just cannot get interested in her books at all.

I used to have a recurring dream that I’d written Lord of the Rings.

Went to the doctor and he said it was nothing to worry about, I was just Tolkien in my sleep

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Moby Dick.

Ughhh.

 

[Easy 10]

The History of Fort Knox

I just couldn’t get into it

I tried The History of Glue.

I just couldn't put it down.

 

[Icy Gull]

Paradise Lost by Milton

Another vote for Captain Corelli’s Mandolin

Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Selected Works of Paul Barber. I’m currently on page 456632 but hope to finish the first chapter soon.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

The island of the day before - Umberto Eco

Loved Focault's Pendulum and Name of the Rose.
Tried this one about 8 times and never got past the first 3 or 4 chapters.

 

[bomber130]

Not necessarily.....

Absolutely he’s spoilt it for anyone who wishes to read it.
