I said that I always finish books, but that requires a bit of adjustment - I almost always finish books (eventually, not necessarily when I first begin reading them.) There are two notable exceptions to this. The first was Necronomicon - I'm sorry, Neal Stephenson, but this was an inexplicably horrible pile of prose. Editors are there to help you, not to harm you. The second was called something like Murder in the Kitchen - it was (I think) about someone stopping at a B&B and getting involved in a murder there. Or something. I don't know, I never finished it. In fact, it was so incredibly bad that I actually threw it away rather than take the milder step of give it back to the used bookstore - it was so bad I didn't want to be responsible for someone else wanting to read it.
