I ask because I tend to jump off a book if It’s not grabbing me, which at times limits me with regards to what I’m reading.

Does it matter? Is it something I should try to push past or am I overthinking this and should just enjoy what I enjoy?

    It depends. There have been books that I have HAD to read and I survived by making notes in the margins about how everything they are saying is wrong. :)

    For stuff I didn’t HAVE to read? Fuck that, life is too short. I might consider going back some day, but in most cases, never have.

    I got 100 pages into Dune and walked away, that was probably 40 years ago now.
