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?

House of leaves for me too πŸ˜… got 80% and loved it, then got busy again... now I'm intimidated to pick it back up

I think I’m almost 50% in, but it has been sitting somewhere for the last months. It is really intimidating!

I got to chapter IX, flipped through it to estimate how long it would take to read it properly, and dutifully put the bookmark in it.

This is one of my favs! It’s worth finishing.

Also, if you like House of Leaves, check out Bats of the Republic by Zachary Thomas Dodson. It’s also Egrodic.
