I just keep starting books lately. Yeesh.
Star Wars: Jedi Apprentice: The Rising Force: I have a fairly decent collection of Star Wars books, and recently my dad gave me all his old books plus a bunch from when I was a kid. Wanting to read one but not wanting to start YET ANOTHER book that would take a week to finish, I picked this up yesterday. 9% done.
I May Be a Guild Receptionist, but I'll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time, Vol. 2: I read volume 1 last week. Blew through it. I loved it. I started volume 2 this week rather than finish off anything else. Genius move. 11% done.
Whalefall: Library surprise! Put it on hold months ago, got an email that it was ready just before the library workers went on strike, rushed to pick it up, read a few pages. It is now in the pile. 2% done.
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: Sometimes I just want to read on my kobo. My kobo book for a long time has been Ulysses. Ulysses is a hard and long read. I needed a break from it so I started reading this... and am still reading it three weeks later. 54% done.
Ulysses : I've been reading this for a long time and wondering whether I understand it, like it, or generally have the slightest clue why I'm reading it, but when I pick it up and my brain doesn't bounce I am just enthralled by whatever the hell Joyce is doing. I'll get back to it eventually. 40% done.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: I got these lovely hardcovers a while back which are beautiful, feel lovely to read, have fantastic illustrations, and my god it's just a wonderful story... but lately I've been pretty lethargic and don't want to hold a hardcover. So it's been sitting by my bedside for ages. 37% done.
What do I start without finishing any of my other books next?
The list of books or other media that I have started but never finished is greater than the list of books I have actually finished.
Tried reading the Lord of the Rings and the hobbit. Got all the way to the last book then set it down and never picked it back up.
Dune I got to the 4th book and couldn't read any more
Dune was so frustrating. When I read it as a young adult I thought it was the best Sci-fi ever written. As I've gotten older, when I reread it, it is poorly written palace intrigue.
I got through the first 3 as audiobooks but I couldn't do anymore. The world's are interesting for sure but for some reason I just couldn't get in to Herberts style this time around.
He has a few others that I have tried to read but couldn't get into them
