The Agony of Incomplete Reads

Bibliophiles must know the agony of the assault of to-read books on book shelves. The books that one buys in an ambitious impulse but somehow never got around to finishing for whatever reasons - the print is too small, the writing sucks, i dont feel for the characters, there is a typo on pg156 - ad infinitum. 

Last I checked, here's my wicked list -

1. Andew O'Hagan's Our Fathers
2. Mahabharata
3. Freakanomics
4. Art and physics
5. Plato's The Republic (never got beyond Book IV)
6. Chomsky for Beginners
7. The Hill Station by J G Farrell
