Random Question: Is there anything you don’t like about reading?
I know this seems like a very silly question to ask a bunch of readers. However, I think even in the things we love there is always a little something we don’t like. An example for me is with my crochet, I LOVE it. I love everything about it, except when it comes time to weave in all the ends at the end of a project. This I HATE.
So when it comes to reading for me I dislike the fact that I have a hard time DNFing a book. I suppose that is more about me then reading itself but off the top of my head that is the biggest thing I don’t like about reading, lol. I just have this habit that it is very hard once I have committed to a book for me to say I just can’t finish it. I have this habit of saying, “Well I will give it one more chapter and see if it gets better” and then it will go “Well I am already 150 pages in I mean it would be sad to stop now…” and thus I get myself stuck in a book I really don’t like much, lol.
I don’t know what DNF stands for, but from the context, I can see that you’re talking about giving up on a book you don’t like, rather than finishing it. I have trouble with that too, though I have a pretty good track record of choosing books I do like. I guess my biggest complaint about reading is that eventually, I have to stop!
DNF is did not finish 🙂
