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!
the reason I barely dnf is neurodivergency/ocd. wouldn’t say there’s anything cool about finishing a terrible book. the reason i don’t is cuz dropping a book hurts more than reading it. that being said, if i drop a book it’s cuz i judge the writer either based on bad writing decisions or blatant racism/sexism.
and since i don’t want to get exposed to that, i do my research before hand and listen to recommendations from people i can trust.
so yeah, nothing wrong with dnf. if it ain’t an assignment, drop it
