How Much of a Book Should I Read Before Giving Up?
Briefly

Reading should be a joy, not a chore. If you feel more distress than delight while reading, it’s perfectly acceptable to consider putting it aside or abandoning it altogether.
Many readers grapple with the guilt of abandoning a book. The shift away from an obligation-based approach to reading should liberate us from this self-imposed pressure.
The key is to recognize your own preferences and boundaries. There’s no universal right or wrong when it comes to finishing a book, just what works for you.
Engaging actively with your reading choices can lead to greater enjoyment. Ask yourself: What am I hoping to gain from this book? Is it fulfilling that goal?
