Anything by Alexandre Dumas (pere, I think). The stories are good and the characters reasonably well drawn but he is such an incurable windbag. All his books just go on and on and on. I read half of the Count of Monte Cristo when I was 15 and I was exhausted and bored.

I'll second Moby Dick too, I've tried to read it about 4 or 5 times and always lose interest half-way through.
