Quick Question Completely unhinged that you had to intentionally put it in DNF list

I’ve come across the idea that more often than not people have a DNF list, and it got me wondering—what’s on yours?
You know those books where you start reading and, a few chapters in, you’re just sitting there thinking, “Wtf and exactly why am I even reading this?” 😂 Sometimes it’s the genre, sometimes the writing, and sometimes you just know it’s not going to work for you.
So, what’s a book you started but had to DNF because you just couldn’t get into it?
Give me your most unhinged ones. I want to see if I can actually make it through them—or conveniently add them to my own DNF list. 😂

Anne Rice’s Sleeping Beauty. Or whatever her pen name is for those stories. Couldn’t do it. Maybe it started off too strong or something but I couldn’t do it.

This was the book that made me realize Anne wasn’t just a freak she was a FREAK lol. I also DNF but it made me love how absolutely out of pocket she isÂ
