J.G.Thomas Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 The One Kingdom, by Sean Russell. I just found it dull and uninspiring. More recently, Stormcaller by Tom Lloyd. Just didn't work for me on any level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myshkin Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 The fifth sorcerous, by Robert Newcome. What a peice of sh*t that was. The Jackel of Nar, by John Marco. It just couldn't keep me interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartTesla Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I stopped reading Neuromancer. Maybe I lack the willpower to tackle the classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkess Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Oliver Twist. And currently trying to read a book called Afterlands which I don't know if I'll finish. I made it halfway through the 2nd or 3rd Foundation book by Asimov before I gave up. Other than that, I can't think of any books I haven't finished out of sheer tenacity at least. I'm sure they exist, they just don't come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry. Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 AFfC, although I'll try to pick it up again later this summer. More a thing of timing than any real dislike for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beniowa Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Destroyer by CJ Cherryh. The Foreigner series is one of my all-time favorites yet I could immediately tell that the latest book was nowhere near as good as the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aemon Stark Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Dark Force Rising by Timothy Zahn. I know the Thrawn trilogy is supposed to be the great Star Wars book series, but I found this one very slooooow. Granted, I was probably 14 at the time, but since I also read The Silmarillion at that age, I shouldn't underrate my ability to slog through a difficult read, past or present. It's not fiction, but I've yet to get around to finishing Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter. It's very interesting, but there are so many digressions that my reading slowed to a crawl. (and then it stopped) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Maid Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Any of Terry Goodkind's books. I always skip to the end. Any book by Anne Rice. Same as with Terry Goodkind. The Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone series by Greg Keyes. For some strange reason, I just can'y slog through it. Maybe when I'm more in the mood.

Freshwater Spartan Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I thought no one should live without reading War and Peace. In my edition the thing is about 1200 pages. I got to around 800 pages or so. I actually liked it. It wasn't a bad read for such an old book but then I hit a very busy phase in my life and stopped reading. It still stares at me on the shelf. I'll finish it someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Most recently, Gail Z. Martin's The Summoner. A cliched, predictable pedestrian book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piper Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Assasin's Apprentice, by Robin Hobb Cyrano, if you didn't get through Neromancer, try Pattern Recognition, by the same William Gibson, I actualy found it easier to get through, if not as exciting.

Jaxom 1974 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 The only three books I've ever put down: 1. The first Sun Sword book by Michelle West 2. Fellowship of the Ring 3. The Crimson Petal and the White by (I think) Michael Faber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
