I ask because I tend to jump off a book if It’s not grabbing me, which at times limits me with regards to what I’m reading.

Does it matter? Is it something I should try to push past or am I overthinking this and should just enjoy what I enjoy?

    Huge fan of Do Not Finish. There are too many good books out there to waste time with mediocre ones. I’ve noped out of books by my favorite authors. Finishing a book you started because you started it is the perfect example of the sunk cost fallacy.

      Personally, because I’ve spent long enough reading it and I want to just finish it if I’m like two thirds of the way through.

      In reality, I spend a week thinking “I need to finish that” and then forget about it completely.

    Don’t. Life’s too short.

    If you’re enjoying it but it’s a hard read take a break and try again. If you’re just not enjoying it sack it.
