Don't read sci-fi.
Well, I have read 'Sirens of Titan' by Vonnegut several times (three, I think).
It could be called science fiction.
Most of his stuff is pretty far out there.
I guess that's why I like it.....

Oh yeah; "classics" I never finished:

'Don Quixote' - Cervantes
finished the first part, couldn't take any more.

'The Brothers Karamazov' - Dostoevsky
those Russians really ARE messed up.

'Resurrection' - Tolstoy
actually, I finished it, then immediately wondered why.

Niven's Inferno, loosely based on Dante's Inferno, has a scene in the Circle of Heretics where Kurt Vonnegut's tomb is lit up with a flashing neon sign proclaiming "SO IT GOES".
