I have been going through this thread and found myself feeling very isolated. Books which I love are loathed by some, but no one had mentioned the only book I can honestly say I hated. Catch-22, I read to the halfway point, and ended up throwing it in the bin. It all felt so pointless. Then again, it was probably a well written book, I remember the feelings it inspired even after 30 years. There have been other books I haven't finished, but they were probably poor books, as I don't even remember them at all.
