The Magus by John Fowles. The book was recently described as enigmatic. That's chartiable in my opinion. It is set in Greece, where I lived while reading it. That's what kept me going, but it couldn't save the book for me.

Watership Down. I wished I had myxomatosis about half way through the read. I was well into a period of bed rest and plaster casts when I was given the book. I'd have read anything at that point. I should have crawled away.
