Stephen King's 11/22/63. Way long and really slow. I kept reading it thinking it had to get better and expecting
Spoiler
the main character would have to find evidence a conspiracy if for nothing else to build suspense.
The love story was decent, but could have worked without the Kennedy killing looming over everything in a different story. Very disappointed in this book.
Anna Karanina
The Brothers Karmasoff (sp?)
The Life of Pi which I only read because it was on my daughter's Nook and wanted to read everything she had before I returned it to her.
The Russian writers, to me anyway, seem to be needlessly wordy but I do remember liking Cancer Ward
Right now I am not reading anything heavy for a while. I have found a series of books about the Amish - novels - that I am enjoying and finding are well researched as well.
They are by Beverly Lewis and the one I have completed is "The Fiddler". She is called the reigning queen of Amish fiction.
I've thought long and hard on this one as I've read so much and generally do not finish a book if I don't like it after about 75 pages. I think the most boring book I have ever read from start to finish would be The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway. It was required reading for 3 lit classes in college, and I think I actually read it twice even though I just hated it. I don't think I hung onto it as I did many others I had read in college, but I've thought about giving it another chance. It's been over 20 years. Maybe it'd be better now. Not optimistic though.
The most boring book, I have ever read is a love story, named as "Sorry for loving you" by "Abhishek Agrawal". Normally, I am a huge fond of love stories but this one was an exception for me. I did not like it's story as it did not touched my heart and kind of boring.
The World Is Flat by Thomas Friedman. It was one of my first "I'm out of college so I'm reading for fun again" books - no worse choice could have been made. Could have said everything it wanted in under 100 pages, but it was nearly 600 pages long and I read all of it.
My girlfriend, a very avid reader, agrees with you on Moby Dick and also Les Miserables. However, War and Peace is one of her favorite books ever, as well as The Three Musketeers.
