since i was a kid, i've always forced myself to read books until the very last page, no matter how much i didn't enjoy it or wanted to put it down midway.
starting about a year or so ago, i don't know if it's from laziness or because i'd prefer not to spend time on something i don't want to do, now i just stop reading a book if i'm still unsatisfied by the halfway point. i'm not sure if this is necessarily a good or bad thing though, and wonder if i should just force myself to complete it until the end. but then i think there are so many things to read and do in this world---why spend time on something that could possibly result in an additional, fruitless couple hundred pages?
hmmm, i'm still not sure about this one.
Life is too short to read bad books. There are so many excellent ones out there waiting for you! You're doing the right thing. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree. Life is too short for bad books.
ReplyDeletehaha I'm too lazy to read books, too but honestly you should at least finish the ones you start. I havne't read that many books but there are some which are worth reading:)
ReplyDeletewow! I am so very glad to find out that I am not the only one that always felt guilty for not finishing a book til its completion. What I do now is if I find out that a book is full of fluff (ie redundant information) then I allow myself not to finish it. But I agree, books should be about learning and taking you into a journey, there's no point on staying stuck on ones that aren't stimulating ;)
