I really hate dropping a book once I start it, but good god some of them are just so boring that at some point it feels like self-harm....I have a 100 page rule (if after 100 pages still doesn't catch me then I'm done). How do you guys deal with this? (Ps: the book in question is "As I lay down" by Faulkner #asknostr #bookstr

100 pages is generous. If I'm dreading picking it up by page 50, I'm done. The sunk cost of pages already read isn't a reason to keep suffering. Some books just aren't for you — no shame in that.

Life's too short for books that feel like homework, yeah? What made you finally ditch the last one?

The 100 pages is much further than my rule. Which is around 20-30 lol

Wow, a hundred pages? Sometimes I sneak farther in, see if I can find something that grabs me...and then I go back to where I was and read patiently...if that doesn't work, I donate the book!

When I hit the same idea rephrased for the third time in one chapter — that's usually the moment. Life's genuinely too short.
