Do you always make yourself finish? I used to, because I couldn't bear to put time and effort into reading a book and then quit. But sometime in my mid 30s I realized that life was too short to read books that I wasn't enjoying.

I understand that! My biggest pet peeves are books that are good, yet somehow the act of reading them is not at all enjoyable, and I have to force myself.
