Never read LOTR. I've read the first 100 pages about a dozen times. I read The Hobbit when I was about the right age (11) and liked it so much that I went straight out and bought the LOTR books. Last time I tried to read them was before the movies came out. I will have another go one day - but there's so much out there to read.
I have read Dragon Tattoo. It was pretty good. I intended to read the other two but went on to something else first and never got around to going back. Same thing happened with Game of Thrones. I really enjoyed it but felt like I needed something different (and shorter) straight after. Plus I'd quite like to wait until the whole thing is complete. Although remaining spoiler free with the TV program out there is a challenge.
Actually the more I think of it the more this happens a lot. Read the first of a series, enjoy it, switch to something else for a change and never get back to the series.
But back on topic. Books I genuinely can't finish tend to be ones I felt like would be good or should be good because they're popular or classics but which I might not have chosen otherwise.
