We all have at least one: the title(s) that you still haven't finished weeks, months, even years after you started reading it, but nevertheless you are determined to finish... someday.

Let's commiserate. What's on your stuck book list?

LeGuinn in general has a problem where she does a lot of slow world building and the "can't put it down" part is pretty late. I started with LHoD and felt for a lot of it like I must not jive with her style, but then it hit and I not only couldn't put it down I couldn't stop thinking about it. I've learned I need to be ready to slog a bit when I start her books despite loving them

Nice to know there might still be hope for me yet!
