So many boring books, so little time... Top of my current list are:

1. MOBY DICK - I got to the chapter titled "The Whiteness of the Whale" and then the book hit the wall.

2. PERDIDO STREET STATION by China Mieville -- yeah, yeah, I know it's the "new weird" and the fantasy book to crack the genre wide open, but after the first 1,000,000 similes for "gross" I was ready to cut it into little tiny pieces.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but the bible is always on my list.
