I started Anna Karenina in high school, got a little over a hundred pages in and stopped. I use to feel bad and say to myself that I would finish it someday but now I don't fool myself. I know I won't pick it up again. I have some other classics that I haven't finished either. At this point in my life, I don't feel bad for not finishing a book, especially if it's fiction. Time is short and I'm not going to waste what free time I have slugging through a book that bores me.
