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

I have yet to be able to get through more than a few pages of any of Norman Mailer's books. If I ever reach a state of complete equanimity, I might try again...but probably not. Also Dickens, I've started most of his novels, but have never been able to finish any. Except A Christmas Carol of course. But I like his stories, so I'm not sure why -- I probably get interrupted by some major life event and never get back. At one time I pretty much had the beginning lines of David Copperfield totally memorized. It's been awhile though - maybe time for another try? Better check my calendar to see what's coming up.
