- The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins
- In the Land of Plenty by Tim Pears
- Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy (I've finished this! Finally.)
- The Complete Journals of Sylvia Plath by Sylvia Plath
- Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen*
- Little Women by Louisa May Alcott*
These are some books which I've not managed to finish. I've enjoyed other books by these authors, but somehow, these just did not captivate me like their siblings did. Nevertheless, I'll try to read them again, because I'd like to believe that they are just as good as the other books.
*Authors whose books I've never managed to finish
I've never finished a single book by Jane Austen. My friends keep telling me how tickled they are by Pride and Prejudice, but somehow I just can't seem to get past even the 2nd chapter.
Neither have I completed any Louisa May Alcott book. I've read 3/4 of Little Women about 5 years ago, but I've abandoned it simply because there was no urge for me to continue.
Although I've not managed to complete a single novel by these authors, I guess I'll still give their works a try again *someday*.
