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 personally don’t bother with books I’m not enjoying, but I find scheduling times to read and keeping to it helps if I’m struggling with a book I need to read. I have this thing where I cannot start a task if I don’t feel I have enough time to do it, so I put off things like reading when I get busy even though I know I can read for just five or ten mins if I wanted. Seeing the blocked out time for it helps a lot and means I can keep going with my reading goals even when it’s a bit of a struggle.
