What’s something that you feel like you should like, but for some reason can’t get into, no matter how many chances you give it?

For me, it’s The Three Body Problem. It should be right up my alley from everything I’ve heard about it (especially the second book, which looks at the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter!), but for the life of me, I can’t get past the first chapter at all. I even tried reading it in another language to see if it was the translation that kept me from getting into it, and nope.

    I think I’ve tried Snow Crash 2 or 3 times, but have never made it very far in. It’s my friend’s favorite book, so I may try again sometime, but I think it’s just not for me, even though the subject matter is totally up my alley.
