I just cannot slog through Moby Dick. I've tried at least 4 times; it bores me to tears. It has the characteristic of most the books I put down - I just don't care what happens or how it ends.
There is a Science Fiction book Dahlgren by Samuel Delany. It has a cult following, but most readers give up on it. I endured for nearly 300 pages before punting.
I admit failure
