Because I'm reading a book and I don't think I like it.

[threeplusfire]

These are the sort of things that bring me to a screeching halt on a Saturday night. I'm reading a book and I don't think I really like it. I don't know if it is the translation, the subject, the style or just me. I hate to stop reading something once I've started. I've only quite a handful of books. So I'm conflicted on whether I devote more time to trying to like it, or if I give up and find something else to read that I'll enjoy more. So the only good thing to do was to make a poll.

I wonder how many people who answered "keep reading" would keep watching a movie on TV if it was boring them rigid? I think there's this feeling that reading ANYTHING is somehow a "worthy" pursuit and so we should stick with it. But I think if one isn't having fun/gaining something from the experience, why bother?
