Top 5 abandoned classics

I have finished one, two and four, and though I have not abandoned the other two, I have taken them off the shelf in the library and put them back:

  1. Catch 22
  2. Lord of the Rings
  3. Ulysses
  4. Moby Dick
  5. Atlas Shrugged

Link to full story is below, but there is not much more to it. Catch 22 is the only surprise, but I just checked, and it is also over 500 pages, so length looks like a contributing factor in abandonment. Duh.

  1. Atlas Shrugged is truly dreadful, and not just because of the politics.

  2. Maybe. I've got Anna Karennina queued up for my next transatlantic trip.
