Currently reading The Vision of the Anointed by Thomas Sowell and the book I finished before it was Knellers Happy Campers by Edgar Kenet which is a short story that was adapted into a movie in like 06 called Wristcutters about a guy who kills himself and goes to an afterlife for all the people who committed suicide. I learned it was based on the short story so I found it for cheap and read it

Oh man, House of Leaves Every time someone recommended it to me and described it all I could think was the book must be the most pretentious piece of garbage written. Just nothing I have heard made the book sound good. I never have given it a read because, like you, I have to finish every book I start. And I don't want to commit to something I am most certainly going to hate.
Pretentious is the best thing I could say about it if I was being polite.
If I was speaking straight, I would say it reads like the author is getting off on intentionally being "unique" and all you end up reading is what pseudo-artistic rambling spunk ends up on the page after he's done masturbating.
