was there ever a book that you started reading and never came to finish yet?

All books that I have read all I have finish because i can't put them if I don't finish them at that time

I usually finish what I've started reading. A book has to almost put me to sleep several times for me not to finish it. I recently finished Marilynne Robinson's GILEAD which actually did put me to sleep. She writes beautifully but there was almost no action in that book. One beautiful description after another without much plot can get pretty boring. I probably shouldn't have even bothered finishing the book but I did.

When I was a kid, I used to want to read a lot of different books and then when I started to read them I found them boring and I'd stop reading them half through. Sometimes I'd come back several times over and over again to try and start reading it again and then I'd get bored and stop reading it. I do have a few books now that I'm reading at once that I need to finish reading. I'm just so busy with other things that I don't always have time to finish reading them.

I've got a number of books that I started and haven't got back to finishing them, like Nobody Lives Forever (Edna Buchanan), Romeo (Elise Title) and Rule of Four (Ian Caldwell). I suppose they were either boring or slow-moving, and I must have left them aside to move onto more interesting books!

I never finished Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" because it's just too boring! It's a great classic story and I've seen movie version of it, but the book just spends too much time on petty details and I gave up halfway through. Whenever I'm reading something I insist on either finishing it or quitting it for good before I start something else. There aren't many I've quit without finishing but that's one of them that I did.
