Starting something you couldn't finish
Finnbar says: I used to know a guy who tattooed LOVE across his left knuckles, but didn't tattoo HATE on the other knuckles because he was right-handed and realised he couldn't finish. Ever run out of skills or inspiration halfway through a job?

Use of Weapons is an absolute masterpiece.
Although possibly not the best if you want to avoid confusion, since half of it is written backwards, interspersed with the bits preceding it, but written forwards. Simple.
I actually got to appreciate it twice. Read it once, half-comprehending it, absolutely shat myself at the bit with the chair. I then promptly forgot about the whole thing, which meant when I came back to it years later I got to enjoy it for the first time, all over again.
