#SundayQuestions: Which book do you keep telling yourself you'll read but you probably won't?

Originally, this book was Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. Simply because of curiosity of it. But I've read Anthem of hers hated it and don't ever want to read anything from her again. It was torture and I feel anything longer by her would kill me.

But for me the book series that fits this is Harry Potter by JK Rowling. Not because I feel like I am too old to read it. Just I feel I missed the time where this book would have been one of my favorites.

I wasn't allowed to read it when I was younger. My family was in its blossoming church and conservative life when it came out. Of course, the belief that this book was evil and full of witchcraft held strongly in my church. My dad even went to school and had it removed from her classes whole class reading -- they had to pick something else to read.

I've recently read the first book I think last year or the year before. I feel I would have loved the hell out of this as a kid. But it's not something I will actively try to finish.

No, I don't even like the movies all that much.

Which book do you keep telling yourself you'll read but you probably won't?

Question came from Justyourtypicalbookblog.blogspot.com it's a dead blog but still houses these questions. So. I don't think they're the originator of the questions but figured I'd tell that I didn't just pull these questions out of the air. 

Anthem - Ayn Rand - Review

Title: Anthem
Author: Ayn Rand
Rating: 3 out of 5

Summary: Anthem has long been hailed as one of Ayn Rand's classic novels, and a clear predecessor to her later masterpieces, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. In Anthem, Rand examines a frightening future in which individuals have no name, no independence, and no values. Equality 7-2521 lives in the dark ages of the future where all decisions are made by committee, all people live in collectives, and all traces of individualism have been wiped out. Despite such a restrictive environment, the spark of individual thought and freedom still burns in him--a passion which he has been taught to call sinful. In a purely egalitarian world, Equality 7-2521 dares to stand apart from the herd--to think and choose for himself, to discover electricity, and to love the woman of his choice. Now he has been marked for death for committing the ultimate sin. In a world where the great "we" reign supreme, he has rediscovered the lost and holy word--"I."

About the Author: Ayn Rand was a Russian-American author who wrote Anthem, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged. Her stories revolved around a philosophical system she called Objectivisim. She achieved fame with her 1943 novel, The Fountainhead. In 1957, Rand published her best-known work, the novel Atlas Shrugged. Afterward, she turned to non-fiction to promote her philosophy, publishing her own periodicals and releasing several collections of essays until her death in 1982. 

 My Review: I read this alongside many other dystopian books the summer of 2014. I didn't like this. Struggled through this thinking something magical about her writing would happen...yet, nothing did. 

 Recommend: No. But we all have free will to self-torture.
