One Day, I'm Never Going to Read This:
But I am going to read that...
My sister Amanda and I thought it would be funny to share one book per month that we know we will never read, plus a sentence about why.
You can look forward to our book picks on the first Monday of every month. Please let us know in the comments if you’ve read this book, maybe why we should read it, and what book you’re never going to read one day.
My pick (believe me, I’ve tried this one):
Moby Dick, or, The Whale, Herman Melville.
This is my favorite subtitle of a book, ever: “or, The Whale.” But still, somehow, one day, I’m never going to read this book.
I am, however, one day going to read “To the Lighthouse” by Virginia Woolf, and not just because it’s a lot shorter.
Amanda’s pick:
The Years of Lyndon Johnson by Robert Caro, all volumes. One day, I will read Robert Caro’s The Power Broker; therefore, I already feel overcommitted.

I’ve never read Moby Dick either, haha, and never had interest in it for whatever reason. Huckleberry Finn is another I’ll probably never read.
The Brothers Karamazov is one I will one day finish reading, even though I’ve tried multiple times already haha
Bleak House: Charles Dickens. I’ve seen the play, TV productions and loved them but oh I’ve tried so hard to read this - it’s exhausting :)
Clockers: Richard Price is on my to read list. Heard an interview of his and he intrigues me.
