I did finish this book, Geoff Cooper's contribution I found extremely hard to read for some reason. The book? And Hell Followed With Them by Brian Keene, Brian Knight, Geoff Cooper, Tim Lebbon from Solitude Publications. I still remember that story.

Weaveworld by Clive Barker . I have tried several times but can’t get more then 50 pages into it before I give up.

I rarely give up on a book. I generally push through on the rare occasion I do surrender I do not go back and try again. I do have one author who I tried repeatedly because so many people love her work. I tried several Ann Rice books and just could not finish them. I even tried her erotic fiction and there is something about her writing style that just rubs me wrong. I have not finished one of her books and have decided I am unwilling to try any other titles by her.

For me, it has been Cormac McCarthy's "Suttree". I've loved everything else I have read by him; however, I cannot seem to make it past quarter of this book. Maybe I'll give it another go one day...

I'm like Ron, I usually only give a book one shot. But I did try three times with Tom Deady's HAVEN.

Ughh. Dagger right through the heart. Love The Gunslinger.
To be honest I have heard that many times though. I think I am in the minority in my love for this book.

None. If I put down a book that I didn’t care for and don’t finish, I don’t give it another try. For me, it gets one shot, and that’s it. There may have been a few exceptions to this rule, but none leap to mind at the moment.

There have been very few mainstream books that I couldn't finish. Plenty of POD and self published books that were real turds though.
The last big name book that I couldn't get into to and never finished was The Fireman by Joe Hill. I thought it was boring from start to wherever I stopped.

Dune has been on my list for years. I'll probably pick up the audio book. I've never seen the movie, but a long time ago there was a mini series on SyFy called "Children of Dune" which I really really liked. I also remember playing a Dune real time strategy game in the either late 90's or early 2000's.

I have never tried to read Dune. (Nor have I seen the movie.)
For me it's BLACK HOUSE by Stephen King and Peter Straub. I loved THE TALISMAN so I was expecting to be similarly engaged by BLACK HOUSE. I have started it twice and I just can't get interested in it at all. I found it very lackluster and boring and couldn't finish it either time.

For me, it's Dune. I would get 100-200 pages in and then just not care about the characters at all.Tags: None
