Never finished Three Roads To Quantum Gravity. Got 100 pages in then realized I missed some key points that made the rest of the book hard to understand. I’ll run it back eventually.

Just remembered i never finished One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

It was interesting but i got lost in all the names and i know its long af lol. Also i lost the ebook so i would have to start over if i got it again

lolita. beautifully written but it made me too uncomfy lol

Mans search for meaning it’s a good read ig but it’s too repetitive at times and reads like a just fix your mindset typa thing

Witcher 2-3 = Peak
Witcher books = not so much lmao
Also couldn't go with War & Peace

Not even on some funny s***, but this one lol

man lol

Malazan Gardens of the Moon is the hardest f***ing s*** I’ve tried to read

infinite jest. finished dozens of books and this seems like a massive undertaking.

Outwitting the Devil

Crime and punishment

Have to finish this by EOY

Currently reading…

Crime and Punishment im on chapter 5. The random hard R in chapter 4 threw me off lmao

using this as a safe space

about 15% into Gravity's Rainbow and think I gotta throw in the towel on this one. it's just cutting my reading time in half because I don't look forward to picking this up and am only reading like 30 minutes a day. at that rate I wouldn't finish this until the end of May which fills me with reading dread

Pynchon is very hit or miss for me (loved Inherent Vice and Vineland but hated The Crying of Lot 49 and Shadow Ticket) but this one is missing the mark completely. I have no idea or interest in what's going on and the prose feels disjointed. I know the first part is notoriously challenging but I feel like the only reason I would push through is to say I've read it

which brings me to the main conflict I have with DNFing books. so many of the books I give up on are considered absolute classics (Gravity's Rainbow, Moby D***, Pedro Páramo) so I feel this intellectual guilt or inferiority for not finishing them. I know that's silly in itself to be involving my ego in reading choices but that doesn't diminish the feeling. maybe some of y'all can relate

oh well, when I give up on a classic like this I tell myself maybe I'll revisit it 10 years down the line

for now I want to read something that makes me excited to read
