What do you do if a book isn't interesting?

Unfortunately I am unable to stop reading a book once I start. It makes me feel guilty and I hate quitting. Therefore, Ill suffer through a book no matter how much I hate it. I do find if I am not interested though, I'll start skim reading more than usual.

I usually read as much as I can until I get a different book or just can't stand it any longer.

Unless I am finding it offensive I keep on with it, I just need to find out how it goes regardless

I usually push through for a couple of chapters but if it's really not working, I just set it down and move on.

I try to give the book the benefit of the doubt, and keep reading. Sometimes the plot will pick up and I'll end up really enjoying the book, other times I just really can't get into it and start reading a different book.

I have a bad habit of completing books no matter what. It is bad because books I don't like take me a long time to finish and then when I am done I'm like "well that was a waate." But I always think if I give it up I will miss something good.

I always try to finish it unless it is particularly bad but once i am done i sell them on to some else who may enjoy them.

I've always finished a book once I started it. If it's a series though, I won't finish the series.

If I've paid for it, then I'm going to try really hard to finish it! If I was able to download it for free then I don't worry about finishing it.

If a book isn't interesting, I try really hard to get a few more chapters in. If I don't get into it by then I just put it down. Maybe now isn't the moment for that book. I think books come into your life at the times you need them.
