5. The Two Towers (Lord of the Rings) - It is a very long segue from book 1 to book 3. Don't yell, I know 2 Towers is more character driven than event driven as in the other books, but I just seem to skim the whole book whenever I re-read the series.

Thank you. I was reading through the thread before I posted. I figured I'd be the first one to mention this book. The Two Towers is the reason I've never finished reading the trilogy.
To me it's not even character driven, for me it's just that it's hundreds of pages describing how they're going through the forest, and describing every trea, leaf, branch, twig, rock, etc. in the freaking forest!
I've tried reading it three times, and have never finished it.
