I feel you there!
There's only one book I haven't finished in my whole life and that is Moby Dick.
I started a book in LSD.

LSD?
(I don't know what I was expecting from a book that explicitly mentions both vampires and the military in the very title. but "Baltimore" is quite bloody. I might not finish.)

I'm the same, had always tried to finish books fully until I was getting them free on Bookbub XD I realised I didn't want to waste time since the book was free anyway.

I thought it was Language for System Development
Baltimore sounds like some gory stuff
@jacob: yea, there's less pressure to finish. I could also easily give up reading a library book if I didn't like it

Oh wow, I forgot about library books. I have many, many unfinished books that I started in libraries. I used to have to wait a couple of hours to get picked up after school so I would go to the library and just read stuff off the shelf, then put it back instead of taking it out. So many times I would come back the next day and the book would be gone and I would never find it again to finish it :'D

I'd finished the "Five Dead Canaries" book a while back but couldn't take it in to the library yet because it's making the rounds of the Elders. I think they like having a historical book that NONE of them are old enough to remember, so we can all discuss it on equal terms. Of course, they have memories of their parents' stories, but still.
Anyhow, I came back with some Michael Gilbert I hadn't read before and a Daniel Silva. Why are they suddenly all mysteries or thrillers? I thought I only liked those every once in a while. Funny what I find out when I pay attention like this.
Eh, I've got plenty of fantasy, romance, and YA here for my lighter happy-ending reading, I guess.
Might go for some Dave Duncan next. And then seek out something with a female protag because it's been all about men lately and it's getting really pointedly lopsided.

you're in a mystery-trap and can't get out! oh no! XD
also in a male protagonist trap...
I'd say most of the books I read recently had female protagonists.

Any of those happen to be ones you liked well enough to recommend? Or are they already on my "find these" list and I just haven't found them yet because you recommended them before?

I'm curious about the gender of protagonists I read so I'm actually going to add them up from the books I read this year.
So far it's at a total of 55:
Non-fiction/poetry/short story collection/etc - 17
Female - 27
Male - 11
Kind of interesting - I also did not expect to see such a high number for books which weren't falling into the general fiction category.
