I read Infinite Jest over the first year and a half after I graduated college.  I don't think I'd ever have the time or patience to finish it if I picked it up now.

True Blood. It didn't defeat me, it defeated itself. That show sucks.

Interview With A Vampire. Even as a gothic teenager in the mid-90's that book was unreadable. In retrospect, I have no regrets about this "defeat". In fact, I'm leaning more towards calling it a "victory" now that I think about it.
