Books I have started but didn't finish
(in the past 3ish years I think)
Children of the Mind
The 4th book in the Ender's Game series. Lost interest, even though I enjoy the story about Ender...need to re-read this, or maybe start back with Ender's Game because it's so awesome.
Amazonia
A book by one of the first employees at Amazon (something like employee #50). At first it was interesting, then got boring since he was an editor and not really into the tech side. Might go back and finish it.
The Cheater's Guide to Baseball
Sort of interesting, I got bogged down in the chapters on steroids. I would like to finish it. Although I enjoy the author's blogging work at USS Mariner, I didn't like his style in this long form as much, and there were enough grammar/punctuation/editing errors to annoy me.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Was amusing enough at first, then just got boring. Maybe I'll finish it later.
I'm not sure if Heart of Darkness counts since I only read the first 4 pages in the library with John and Wendy and kept falling asleep. But I would like to read this one eventually.
I think that's it, at least recently. I kind of hate this habit I have of starting books and not finishing them.
