I finally read that 'must-read' literary novel everyone pushed last year
Our club spent $28 each on hardcovers of 'The Silent Citadel' after a member insisted it was profound. I found it so painfully slow that I couldn't finish the last 150 pages. Has anyone else felt pressured to buy a book the group loved, only to totally hate it?

My copy of 'The Silent Citadel' is holding up a wobbly table leg now. What was the most boring book you ever tried to finish?

I forced myself through 200 pages of "The Gray Regent" before giving up. It felt like reading a tax form, michael_bennett11. Every chapter was just people walking slowly across a field to talk about grain prices.
