Was at the Borders blog the other day, procrastinating, blog-hopping, take your pick, and the subject of finishing books came up.
I don’t finish a book I’m not enjoying. With a few rare exceptions, it’s just not something I mess with. I’m impatient and if the book isn’t working, I’m not likely to stick with it. I’m also greedy with my time. If a book isn’t appealing to me, it’s a waste of time, for me, to finish. So I don’t. Those rare exceptions are for when I’d previously enjoyed books by the author, particularly series books, and then I’ll skim to see what happens-or just jump straight to the end. But I have to be really invested in something-either the series, secondary characters, something, for that to happen. 99 times out of 100? I’ll just toss the book.
I know some people hate not finishing a book, even if they hate the book.
Which camp are you in? Why? Curious writer mind wants to know.
