Paused / Left Midway:
2012:
The Once and Future King - T.H. White(Read the first part - The Sword in the Stone, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Intend to go back sometime.)
2013:
The Crying of lot 69 - Thomas Pynchon(Pynchon is insufferable. Never could imagine 130-odd pages could be such a chore. Pushed myself to 100-odd. And no further. Thanks, but no thanks.)
Death By Black Hole - Neil DeGrasse Tyson
(Enjoyable, if somewhat heavy. I do certainly intend to go back to this. Maybe in 2015.)
The Finkler Question - Howard Jacobson
(Eh, not really my cup of tea. Let go at the fourth chapter or so. Doubt if I will revisit.)
2015:
Jar City - Arnaldur Indriðason
(What do I say? Did not work for me. Too gloomy, soggy, wet and humid. Too alien. Icelandic Mystery is left for maybe another time, okay?)
