Abandoned books

This was a Booking Through Thursday question a few weeks back, but I have to report that I have abandoned two books in the past few weeks: The Hours, by Michael Cunningham (which was to be on the Book to Movie challenge), and American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I was especially disappointed after enjoying "Good Omens" so much, but apparently it was the combination of Pratchett and Gaiman that I enjoyed. I haven't tried a Pratchett book yet, but I won't get my hopes up.
