What are your thoughts on quitting a book halfway through if it isn't turning out to be as engaging as you thought it would be? How many of you would see it through, and how many of you would just say, "Life's too short," and move on?
I ask you this because I've come across too many books lately that I feel like I'm wasting my time on, and I can't figure out whether it's because I might be suffering from attention issues, or because I'm just choosing books I shouldn't be.
I'm currently reading Where the Crawdads Sing, and it's just unending torment with every passing paragraph.
I also quit American Psycho halfway through because it wasn't able to retain my interest after a certain point. And that's a movie I actually enjoyed watching!
Does anybody else deal with this dilemma?
