Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about sticking with it…
How much time (or how many pages) do you give a book that you aren’t really enjoying before you’ll set it aside? If you’re reading it for a book group discussion, or for review, will you give it more of a chance then, say, a book you’re reading for your own interest? Why, or why not? (courtesy of MizB)
I will generally give a book around 60 pages or so to really grab me. If I am really not liking it at all I will say forget it. I have too many books in my pile to read to just keep at it. However, if it’s a book sent to me to review, or a book for a group yes I will be more likely to give it a bigger chance than the others. But still…sometimes it is just not worth it to keep reading.
Great minds think alike!
I agree and I to start following that “rule” a bit better. No point in wasting time.
