Ilium - Dan Simmons
No more Trojans, please.
I am sure I am all Trojan-analogued out with all the various pieces I have read over the last couple of years, and while I really like Simmons and some of his books and stories are among my all-time favorites, I have picked this one up twice and tried to read it, no joy.
(Book is actually 0-4 in this house, as the spousal unit has done the same thing).
Just one of those things, I suppose, so on to his next book, as this one is too tedious and uninteresting to be finishable.
