The Greatest Book Ever Written

[Rorschach]

Can't do it, if I start I finish, however painful it is, makes me choose the next one more wisely.

I'm a bit like this myself. I've finished some complete tosh for no other reason than to finish it.

A couple of books that bested me were Stalingrad and Midnight's Children. Both were a hard slog and I'm sorry to say I gave up on them. They are the only two so far.
