[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A comment on another thread where someone said they read over half a book before they could get into it had me wondering: Do you DNF? How early have you DNFed? How far have you gotten and bailed? What are some of your DNF books?[/quote] I almost never quit a book, but I recently had to. I read 2/3 of it to my kids, about 200 pages. It was I, Robot by Isaac Asimov. Great idea, very creative, but too much dialogue and sexism. I read the part about Dr. Calvin being hysterical and told my kids I was done. They were fine wiith it because the back and forth was annoying and hard to follow.[/quote] I quit Foundation by Asimov for similar reasons. Brilliant guy, but it's all so slow and plodding. And the sexism/lack of female characters really made you feel the age of the books. I am enjoying the Foundation series on Apple TV though.[/quote]
