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?

This may just be me, but I've read a handful of books by Iain M. Banks, and found them all to have uneven or odd pacing that can make it easy to get stuck. If you like the overall vibe it's worth pushing through, and it's not just you!
