Finish any book that you abandoned (for at least one month) because you were having issues with the language. This is really subjective, but here are a few examples:
- It seems like an inferior translation
- The author uses technical jargon that is new to you
- You're reading it in a language you are not fluent in
- You are frustrated with poor editing
- The author's style is more poetic/flowery/vulgar/stream-of-consciousness/experimental/whatever than you are comfortable with
