We all have at least one: the title(s) that you still haven't finished weeks, months, even years after you started reading it, but nevertheless you are determined to finish... someday.

Let's commiserate. What's on your stuck book list?

Dunno if I'd even finish it so long after, but tried reading some 15 years ago Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and found it to be such a bore I stopped halfway through and contented myself with the movie instead. Meanwhile, all other books were a super easy read for me.

    I remember Order of the Phoenix as an incredible slog indeed! Endless descriptions of (between many others) Christmas parties, going on for pages and pages, with nothing actually _happening _! Totally agree, but worth it.
