I used to HATE not finishing a book... then I started reading one called 'Patrick', which, while the writing was good, the main character was a selfish prick and despite all the crap he'd gone through halfway into a 600 page book had learned Absolutely. Freaking. Nothing. First book I put aside.

Right now I'm debating if I will ever pick up Cherie Priest's steampunk again. I read like 140 pages and it's sooooooooooo slooooooooooooow and boring and nothing has happened... but I spent fifteen bucks on it!! EGRERGERG!!!

(See. I totally understand. May we know what book so we know what to avoid?)

It's "Dies the Fire" by SM Stirling, and it was recommended to me by a friend. I now realize that his and my tastes coincide only by wild coincidence, and this time they didn't. Alas.

My dad tried reading a book by him and gave it to me... only after getting 1/3 of the way through. I didn't even try to read it but sent it off to my cousin in Afghanistan for the small library I seem to be building for the soldiers over there. :)

He's even read the paranormal romance I've sent over... guess it's the closest they can get to sex or porn. O_o
