What’s something that you feel like you should like, but for some reason can’t get into, no matter how many chances you give it?

For me, it’s The Three Body Problem. It should be right up my alley from everything I’ve heard about it (especially the second book, which looks at the Fermi Paradox and the Great Filter!), but for the life of me, I can’t get past the first chapter at all. I even tried reading it in another language to see if it was the translation that kept me from getting into it, and nope.

    I tried multiple times to get into it myself, and couldn’t.

    I like Big Fat Fantasy. I like Kate Elliott and Robin Hobb and Lois McMaster Bujold’s Chalion books. I like Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey. I like Name of the Wind, and I like The Traitor Baru Cormorant. I’ve read Melanie Rawn’s books and C. S. Friedman’s more fantasy-leaning books.

    Just couldn’t get into WoT.
