I actually made it through the series but I did often wonder why it became such a hit. Loved the movies but it was such a hard read for me. Mostly because Tolkien constantly breaks his own rythm by interspacing 3 page songs or poems or whatever right into the middle of things.
Can't really think of any book that has "beaten" me. If I don't like a book or loose interest in it for some unknown reason then I put it down and don't even think of ever going back.
