Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire
Well, it might've been worth finishing, but it rambled through the first part about Elphaba being an odd unemotional child and her mother committing adultery right under her father's nose. Then it took a big jump to Galinda riding on the train to college and being distressed over sharing a train car with a talking goat who turns out to be a professor.

I started The Smoke Jumper (I don't remember the author but he's the same guy who wrote The Horse Whisperer) and was extremely bored about 50 pages in. I read up to about page 150 then the book got lost and I was less than heartbroken to see it go. How Soccer Explains The World was also useless, but I finished it because it was for a social science class so I kind of had to.

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. I have heard that it is a really good book so a friend of mine and I decided to read it. Both of us put it down about half way through and walked away. I like the way Nabokov writes, but I just couldn't deal with the subject matter. Maybe I'll try to finish it within the next year or two....maybe not.

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. The plot is cool and all, but unabridged you get all the history that you can't understand and abridged you get none of the good plot points. And it's LOOOONG!

Angels and Demons (probably for the same reason as the person who put "The Davinci Code"!)

don quixote. it was so long and so boring, i just couldn't get through it. the same thing keeps happening to him over and over again and you'd think he would learn form his numerous mistakes, but he doesn't and it just made me want to cringe. like watching a car crash. so i stopped reading it.
