My DNF yesterday was a book that's (probably) great literature that I'm not smart enough to understand. This DNF today (at p.60) gives no indication of being great literature. One main character is a worthless self-absorbed nothing, reminiscent of Bukowski; the other main character is a deeply troubled but shallow person with glimmer of potential but not enough to keep me going. The near-future fascist dystopia is played for yuks, and I'm not in the mood for that right now.
