One book over the past twenty years I started to re-read three times but never finished is Aldous Huxley - Brave new world. Have got about two thirds through it but always gets shelved... and I do like it.
I am a Stephen King freak but i just cannot get into 'From A Buick 8'. I've tried numerous times, reaching about a 3rd of the way in, but it's just not gripping me. I haven't thrown it out though as i'm assured by a few friends that it is (eventually) a good read.
One other reason for my persistence is that, back in the mid 70s, i tried to read Mario Puzo's 'The Godfather', only to find that equally as difficult to get a grip on. So i 'shelved' it. About a year later, i watched the film and enjoyed it tremendously. So i took the book up again and almost read it all in one sitting.
