I saw the title and was all ready to say the same book... like you, it's one of the few books I gave up on.

Me too.

Very rare I can't finish a book.

Not so much cold as WTF. Atkins Diet. Stopped at something about bananas being a no-no but you can eat lots of meat.
Cycling = bananas. And trying to munch on a ham hock duct-taped to the bars didn't work too well.

Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie.

Yep, another for both Zen and Moby Dick. The Bible didn't register, either, nor did The Koran.

The Alchemist was waaay overrated (meant to be in the same category as Siddhartha.

Actually anything by Salman Rushdie.

Midnight's Children dissuaded me from reading anything else by Salman Rushdie.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Not only was it dull, it is a total insult to all the brave members of the Greek resistance.

I tried to read Portrait of the artist as a young man by James Joyce. Some humerous lines but fark knows what it was supposed to be about and I just couldn't get into it at all.

Easyway to stop smoking by Allen Carr, I appreciate many found it really helpful, I actually agree 100% with everything he said but something about his sanctimonious style of writing really got my back up.

At the risk of upsetting many - Pride and Prejudice - excellent cure for insomnia.

The Joy of Pi

It promised more than it delivered on the gastronomic front.

What have you got if you have 22 pies on the top shelf and 7 pies on the bottom shelf?
