Unfinished books

Following on from Sunday's meme concerning how many of the allegedly top 100 books I have read, would like to read and would not touch with a bargepole, today's Guardian starts another: books that we have started but cannot finish.

I have not even picked up any of the five books listed in the on-line version of the article, though I do admit to starting James Joyce's Ulysses twice but not getting past page 100 on either occasion. Also, as I said on Sunday, my bedside table is full of half-finished books but I plan to deal with all of those in due course with the possible exception of Hillary Rodham Clinton's memoirs, 'Living History'.
Comments:
You got as far as page 100 of Ulysses?

Wow, I'm impressed - I never got beyond about p50!

Respect...
 
Well talking about books at least gets you off the hook about Lib-Dems showing in Glasgow-East compared to the SNP and its First Minister! Oh, how sweet ur, SNP for kicking out Labour.
 
I have commented on it in this thread: http://peterblack.blogspot.com/2008/07/scottish-stories.html

It could have been better but we were squeezed as all the anti-Labour votes gravitated towards the party most likely to give Labour a kicking, in this case, the SNP.
