Finally got through 1984!! It took 3 years and 4 different tried at reading it but I got through it and in the end really enjoyed it!

Life of Pi
1/4 of the way through
I know how much everyone loves this book, but I find it mind numbingly over descriptive in some parts, really I would get the point that you saw a bunch of animals when you left the zoo if you described 2 or 3, the 6 or 7 you used is overkill...
Bah!!
This is also the 4th time I've tried to muscle through this book...

Eye of the World from the Wheel of Time series
3 chapters in
The premise was pretty great, and the characters well fleshed out, but its the over descriptive writing that makes it a pain to sludge through.
