there are some books that you know aren't going to get any better though. Or if the writing style is something you can't get comfortable with you know thats not gonna change. Persisting with books can be good - an example being Herzog by Saul Bellow, which only really gets going in the last third. 2 examples of books I hate/hated are Lolita by Nabokov (most uncomfortable read ever) and the one I'm tempted to throw aside now, The Gingerman. But seeing as its only 30 more pages, I'll force myself through it (in the same way you force yourself to drink lemsip when you're sick).

I only made it about three chapters into the Gingerman about 5 years ago. That was the one about the American studying here...or was he from the country? And the description of his wool clothes went on a bit too long? He was always hungry..... am I thinking of the same one? I'm very fickle when it comes to books. If it seems like work then I don't want to spend my free time doing it.
recently i have also given up on augie march (boring)
Someone should have taken Pynchon's copy of Finnegan's Wake off him when he was young and smacked the fucker on the side of the head with it.Gravitys Rainbow is great, worth the initial work involved.
BTW, whoever it was said they read Finnegan's Wake, looks like you have to start over. They've only gone and changed it all...
I used to be good for not giving up on books but a quick peruse of my goodreads account reveals that i have, in the last 6 months or so, abandoned the following books (in reverse order):
Congo Journey by Redmond O'Hanlon
Absolutely fascinating, I've read a lot of the literature around this subject, while people like Lessig are very good on the "freezing of innovation" aspects, this is by far the best I have read so far on the legal history of the copyright debate and an analysis of the rhetoric used.
Excellent!
just fucking brilliant. i am really excited about imperial bedrooms
