Basically, sometimes one may find out too late that a book isn’t quite up to one’s taste. The book might not be gripping enough due to many factors. In such case, would you quit reading it? Does the amount of progress you put in make a difference? Or would you be nontheless determined to complete despite not feeling any meaningful connection?
I have really bad ADHD, so my book reading involves reading the first 30% of a book, then swapping books because I found something new and exciting. It’s dopamine chasing and I have a sad large pile of unfinished books.
