[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are three of mine (I guess this isn't much more than a vent thread, but if I can save someone some time...)

Proof of Heaven - Struck me as complete and utter nonsense.  I might have continued despite my disbelief if I hadn't been equally put-off by the pushy evangelicalism that seemed to emanate from the pages.

Love in the Time of Cholera - I read the first several chapters and enjoyed them immensely but I quit because I don't think I need that kind of sadness to enter my brain at this point in mu life.  Does it ever stop being so tragic?

The Memory Keeper's Daughter - Stopped about 2/3 of the way through because I realized I just really didn't care at all about the characters and what might happen to them.  It wasn't boring exactly, but just not compelling in any way.[/quote]

I stopped reading Memory Keeper's Daughter about 100 pages in when I realized it was total overwritten English major crap. And I always finish books.

I have since vowed to never read a book entitled "The _______''s daughter/brother/sister/wife" etc...Seems like to many god-awful fiction books have some twee title like that. Come to think of I it, I mostly read nonfiction these days anyway.[/quote]
