In the article it mentioned the 60 page rule, meaning that if by page 60 the book had not caught your interest then that was the time to walk away. Can you walk away from a book that you have started? When do you know that you like, love or hate a book? If you decide to not finish the book at what point do you finally say enough?
I recently read an article asking readers if they continue to read a book if it is not catching their interest. Previously, I was one that had to finish a book no matter if I loved it or hated it. However, in the last 10 years I have realized that I don't have to finish the book if it is dragging, lost my interest, is poorly written and/or if there are massive editoral errors. Now, if a book does not have my interest by chapter 2 I can close the book and never look back. There are just too many good books to be read in this world, that I don't need to waste my time on the ones that can't keep my interest or are poorly written just because I want to know what happens.
