When do you DNF a book?

article image placeholderUploaded by @Ramya
I also remember recently there was this book that I was struggling to finish, but I was determined to see it through. But then I saw someone in my Facebook reading club share a critical review of the book, and many others in the thread seemed to agree, and that somehow pushed me over the edge and I just gave up on the book and moved on. So yeah, when do you decide that a book is just not working for you? I'd love to hear your thoughts

Worth I'll keep trudging along if I know that it leads to the canon, adds to the canon of a series of stories like The Black House from Stephen King. It adds a lot to the Gunslinger series, The Dark Tower, but it's like, I'm trying to get through, like, the first couple pages of this, and I'm just like, this is I don't know what's going on here, but I keep going back to it, keep giving it a try

@Ramya - perhaps its a good idea to listen to this at 1.5x πŸ₯²

And I think this is perhaps the only book that I have not finished yet. I'm not giving up on this one just yet. I hope that I will be able to complete it someday

@Ramya In Search of Lost Time, Marcel Proust

You. Hi, Ramya. This is actually a great question because I am also a finisher. When I start a book, I tend to kind of go all the way to the end. But there have been some books that I could not finish just because I had to give up. And one of the I think the classics that I could not finish was In Search of Lost Time by Bruce

I feel pretty much that same of recognition of my book and to give opinion to it

Recognition of the books of my book. Had to give pence

Hey, this is Erica Souljourney one K. And sometimes, as book readers, we definitely can be petty, and I know I can be petty. For instance, there's this book that I've been meaning to finish, but it seems like I can't really finish it
