Wallace Steigner's All the Little Live Things was *extremely* boring for the first 2/3rds. I slogged through because it is my husband's favorite. I'm very happy I did because the last 1/3 made up for it. Stephen Donaldson's first 3 of his trilogy I learned to skim a little. I read a lot of "how to run your nonprofit" books, those can be pretty dry and boring. Outlander was horrible. I read about 1/3 then started the second book, then went back and finished reading the first. 8 books later I'm still alive.
