Etc. - Question of the Week #12: Unfinished Books
I could never finish "Moby Dick" or "Billy Budd." Perhaps I just hate Herman Melville's style of writing? The first time I tried to read "Wuthering Heights" I gave up...but then, I was 12. I read it (all of it) when I was in my 20's and it finally made sense.
