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 used to force myself through to the end, but the pile of books to be read keeps getting bigger, and I keep getting busier. So now, depending on the book, I'll either just give up, or put it aside and come back to it later, if it's more a case of "just not in the mood" rather than outright dislike.

I do find it harder to give up on a series, I'll admit - I've invested time and money into it, how can I give up now?
