Unfinished fiction generally falls into three categories for me:

Books recommended by other people that turn out to be greatly not to my taste. Neal Stephenson comes to mind.

Things one ought to have read but can't actually stomach. Proust and Trollope top that list.

Books by people I sort of kind of know so feel obliged to attempt. I'm going to plead the fifth wrt examples.

It is fear of this which has engendered my very bad habit of not reading books by people I know in the first place. Exceptions: if I started reading their books before I met them; if I'm editing a book.
