What book(s) are you putting off reading? (self.literature)

Anyone else have a book (or books) that they want to read but just never seem to actually get around to reading? Any books you feel like you ought to read but never do?

Probably unpopular, but for me it’s classic Russian literature- War and Peace, Crime and Punishment and the like. I know they’re supposed to be amazing, but I just can’t work up the energy to read them. I think Anna Karenina soured me on Russian literature; the middle portion of that book with Levin on the farm was such a drag that I’m hesitant about the other books.

What about you?

The Three Body Problem series.

The Expanse series.

The Storm light Archives.

Many others I'm sure I'm forgetting at the moment.

I absolutely loved the three body problems series. Last full book series I actually read...like 3 years ago.
