Yeah, there’s been a few, and sometimes if I’m really struggling, I’ll put it down and try again later. After all, reading is supposed to be enjoyable. My last read was difficult at the beginning, but I kept going with it because it had been on my tbr for ages…
Yeah … Twilight: My friend thought it was fantastic though … The Girl on the Train: Similar consensus in my family and with friends … Any Jane Austen – I just don’t seem to get along with her at all … And Romance novels – I’m not a Romance type of person
I just posted about “13 Reasons Why.” It took me a good 150 pages to find a good reason for reading it, but now I’m glad I held on. It seems some books just don’t “take” until you’re well into them.
Yes!
There have been a number of books that I just couldn’t continue reading because they were putting me to sleep.
Yup.
Yes .
Yep. And I only read half of it but my mom loved it!
Too many….I usually give 3 chapters, if I can’t get into it I stop…
Very rarely
Of course, but I read it until the end anyway, I’m no quitter! XD
Who hasn’t experienced a boring book in their life?
Yes.
Bible
Yep, all the time in high school. I hardly ever finished my assigned books for school lol
Yes.
I couldn’t get into the last mortal instruments book. I made it like a quarter of the way and gave up
Yesss…. my last to last read… Lisey’s Story was a hugee bore
By Stephen King? I found it so hard at the beginning, to the point where I actually had to come back to it at a later date, but loved it in the end
I finished cz i cant leave any book unfinished but thats it… i am nt buying any SK books for a long time now
Fair enough! I hope you enjoy whatever you’re on to now ?
Thanks @Biancha…. currently m reading book by Cecilia Ahern and loving every bit of it?
Yes. Nothing exciting happened at all in My Antonia.
Oh yes, lots and lots!
Of course
Most definitely
I’m pretty sure everyone who went to school had to read a book they found boring.
Yes and it worked as an alternative for tablets of insonmia
Yep
Yes. Just 1
Yup, The Bell Jar ??

Yes there are few ☹
Desert God/Wilbur Smith, Gabriel’s inferno/S.Reynard. Both horribly boring.
Yeah … Twilight: My friend thought it was fantastic though … The Girl on the Train: Similar consensus in my family and with friends … Any Jane Austen – I just don’t seem to get along with her at all … And Romance novels – I’m not a Romance type of person
The Silmarillion by Tolkien took me months to read and now, 30 years later, I can’t remember if I even finished it.
i. bloody. hate. taming of the shrew!!!!
i have to teach it for work
its just a mindfk
That would be annoying.
Plenty.
Far from the madding crowd. Was a set book at school.
Yes!!!
All the time, so I stop reading it and go to another book.
Yes. I usually muddle through.
I can tell when I am a quarter through a book whether I am going to like it and if I do not then on to the next on my list 🙂
My rule is 2 chapters, if I don’t care about characters, book goes back to library

If I’m bored on the first page, I call it quits. It never happens though. Last time was when I tried reading How to Kill a Mockingbird
