    Yep I should probably clear all those books I don’t like off of my shelves… To name drop a few, in case anyone relates:

    spoiler
    • Eyeless in Gaza by Aldous Huxley. I hate this one, it’s just absolute nonsense
    • Column of Fire by Ken Follett’s. I was invested in finishing his Kingsbridge series but only the first 2 are actually important to read.
    • Some of Rick Riordan’s later books - again, I felt compelled to finish because of how many of his earlier works I read, but the viking stuff just seemed dull.

      There are oh-so-many “you simply must read this!” books in my trash bins over the years I could likely open the worst bookshop in the world with them as stock.
