1Q84 (1Q84, #1-3)

I just couldn't do it. The alternation between the two protagonists was kind of fun, and I was beginning to become interested in the mystery and how the two worlds(?) were related, but ultimately, the bad writing and story-going-nowhere and the weird explicit sexual references that just popped out of nowhere killed the book for me. I couldn't take the idea of another 400 pages or whatever it was...
