I started reading for fun a few years ago and started with the top 100 classics as voted by the readers of penguin books.

While I’ve loved some of them, and enjoyed others even if they weren’t my cup of tea, there have been some that I’ve had to grind them down page by page until they are finish.

I want to finish all 100 as it’s the challenge I set myself, so what do you do get through a book that you aren’t enjoying/connecting with?

Sorry if this had already been asked, I only joined yesterday!

    I’m happy to DNF books these days lol

    That said, with the classics especially, I often enjoy them on audiobook

    And audiobooks of the classics are easier to find because of copyright

    Even Spotify has audiobooks these days

    Try audio for a few chapters - sometimes hearing the words aloud lets you find new joy in the rhythm of the prose
