Etc. - Question of the Week #12: Unfinished Books

I just Stumbled this site...

I very rarely don't finish books, but here are two that I just couldn't get through:

JD Salinger - Raise High The Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction. I got through RRTRBC no problem, but I thought S:AI was so boring and repetitive that I just could not get through it. And Salinger is one of my favorite authors, too.

Jane Austen - Emma. I've started it... three times? I've gotten maybe to the middle of the book, but I've never managed to finish it.

I've also got 200 or so pages left to go in Charles Dickens' Pickwick Papers. I'm planning to finish this one eventually, though.
