i go to pg 100, after that if i’m still not feeling it, i dnf
If it has action try going around halfway through ig? It usually gets good around then. If it doesn't then try from 60-100 and if it's not for you and doesn't seem like it will improve, don't feel guilty about dropping it
depends. I can read all day if my parents let me
Depends. Sometimes it’s at the end of chapter 1 and sometimes it’s when something I really don’t like happens.
Honestly? If its a good book, I can read it in one sitting (Example: Any and Every book by SJM)And if I don't like it, well I can barely manage 10 pages of it and then get done with it.
Depends we adopted our granddaughters 11 1/2 years ago so I have to read when they are in school or asleep. Little bits here and there when they are home. In the evening about 30 minutes then Ibger sleepy. Some nights I can go for 45/minutes to an hour.
Around 100 hundred pages or 150 pages to grab my attention or not before I give up.
I'll give it at least 3-5 chapters. But sometimes I will throw in the towel half way through especially if I'm starting to get frustrated with the plot or mc
On a weekday, I put in about 3-6 hours of an audio while I'm at work. When I get home, about 1 hour of a physical book before bed. On the weekends, I can do up to 8 hours if left to my own devices.
I'll DNF after the first chapter if I'm bored or don't like the book.
20 pages I know if I like the writing style. 50 pages if I'm invested in the story.
I make every attempt to finish a book. I have had a few stinkers on my list as well as some that were misplaced when moved.
Normally 50 pages. I am in many book clubs so there are books that I only finish for the book club. However, all my DNFs are book club selections that don't work for me at all, and I wouldn't want to discuss them.
Between 50 and 100 pages for me, usually...
A few hours a night.... cuz I'm too busy during the day (scwl, chores, side classes ect)
I don't DNF anymore. I even went back and finished Infinite Jest after a 22-month layoff. The only book I won't go back and finish is The 120 days of Sodom. It will forever sit in the abandoned pile.
Sometimes I read a lot. I nap in the afternoon and if I have a good read, I skip the nap. I read to go to sleep at night. It's my sleeping pill. Other times I am too tired, can't read at night and the days are too full. I love reading.
Usually between 60-100 pages if the book hasn't gripped me by then I put it down. Now there have been times where a friend or a group have suggested a reread where I have DNF'd something and i've picked it back up and pushed through and loved it past that point but that is extremely rare. You will know if the books is for you or not in the first 50 pages.
i read it until i can’t take it anymore and drop it

it depends on the book yk? Like my most recent dnf was The Winner's Crime at just 13% or another book called Shiver at abt 58 or 68%
If a book isn’t grabbing my attention within the first two chapters then I still try to keep going but after the 5th chapter if it still isn’t happening then I’m done. I’ll try again later see if my perspective has changed.
hours. But I force myself to read everyday atleast a minimum of 5 minutes. Stagnation is recession.
