This week's question:
"When you read a book that you just can't get into, do you stick it out and keep reading or move to your next title?"
I do stick it out even if I'm not enjoying a book. Even if I'm not feeling particularly attached to the writing, the construction of the story as a whole can still offer me something valuable. Maybe this is something from my days as an English student, when I had to finish books even if I hated them so much I immediately threw them across the room as soon as I read the last page (Time of Man by Elizabeth Maddox Roberts=worst book ever written). Most of the time though I don't have this problem and I'm able to make the story work for me even if it's not what the author intended.
