I never really finished (or maybe technically "started" as I never got past page 20) Ulysses, but as an English professor once said (no clue who - why waste a good anecdotal story on finding facts) "no one has read Ulysses, including English professors".

I started in two books by Modessitt Jr and both times I threw the book across the room out of window out of sheer hate of his writing. (His? Hers?)

When they first came out, the Earth's Children books by Jean M Auel were huge here in the Netherlands. I read book 1 three times (and loved the movie), book 2 twice, book 3 once, got halfway through book 4 before putting it away disgusted, read about 100 pages of book 5 and never bothered with book 6.

I'm sure there are others, but can't think of them right now.
The mystery deepens... I think. *MySmiley*
