Once, I picked a book from my parent's shelve. I was somewhere between 10-15. I started reading the book, but just couldn't get to the half-way point. A few months later, I tried again. Same result. Only at the third try did I finish the book. It's one of my most favourite books of all. One of those that I'll try to find a hardcover as soon as our lounge is done (which means I'll have bought four copies of it, paperback, ebook, audiobook and finally hardcover, five if you count the mini-series that was made from it).
The book was Shogun by James Clavell.
