Musing Mondays -- 26 September 2011
What does it take for you to give up on a book you're reading?
It takes a lot, actually, and while I don't usually give up on a book, I will give it a time out and come back to it later. I don't like to give up on books or feel as if I need to give up on a book. Having been the sort that did lots of creative writing in school, has taken creative writing courses and such, I know what goes into writing and I appreciate all authors efforts. However, since people's reading/writing tastes differ, I try to choose books that I know I will finish because not finishing a book, to me, is an insult to the author.

There are a few books I just have had to put down..they were insulting my intelligence. Some I have have ploughed on regardless, and then wished I had put them down!
I'm like you , I tend to stay with the familiar.

I no longer feel the need to stick with a book if it bores me. I'll give it a chance but if I am not getting anything out of it, then I'll give it up.
I am with Jake, though I do, do what Jane does and stick with the familiar.
Seems like it's the Canadian gang who is only commenting today!!
