The book I’m currently reading is boring me….shall I move on??
Yes. Life is to short for boring books
Yes!!! It’s hard to though.
Yes, either list it as a DNF or go back to it another time.
Yes
Yep.
Yes
Yes life is too short
I’m in the same situation. I HATE not finishing a book. I usually always try to finish because a book sometimes surprises me at the end. But I’m considering moving on from this one ?
What are you reading?
Yes, definitely! Too many good books out there to waste time on boring ones
Yes. It’s not for you. Pick another.
I’d move along!
Yes! Life is too short to spend on a boring book.
Yes! Definitely!
Move on, put aside and go back later. Sometimes it’s just not the right time
Yes. Life is too short and there are too many good books to read to be wasting time on a bad books
Yes. Life is too short to keep reading a book that you’re not enjoying.
Yes definitely x
Don’t waste another minute.
Yes, life’s too short for boring books!
Yes !
I’m reading, The Husbands Secret….did anyone else read it ?
What book is it?
@Rihab it’s a book I bought at fort Ticonderoga about the letters during he war between Henry Knox and his wife
Too many books… too little time. Pick something else.
If you’re asking the question, I feel like the answer is “yes”. ☺️
Yep.
I feel like you should! Some people push through just to finish it, but if you’re not enjoying it, there are millions of other books waiting to be read! ?
Yes
My aunt is battling ovarian cancer. She says life is too short to waste on bad books.
Yes! Life is too short for boring books. I used to try and suffer through and one day I realized there wasn’t a reason that I needed to finish.
@Lori I used to do the same thing
Yes. If it were for a class or you were trying to self study or obtain some info, it’d be a different story. But reading purely for pleasure is different. I probably ditch about a third of books I get from the library, bringing them back unread.
Yes
Yes
Yup! ?
Heh, yep, I say move on, I always do 🙂 I make sure I’m at least 50 pages in tho. If I’m not 50 pages in then I feel that I’m judging it too soon.
yep!!
I would suggest to put the book down and then try to visit it again after some time.
It happens to me too sometimes, but then its really nice to finish a story that you’ve started. It may be boring but it’s still a story and every story, at least for me is always worth reading. ☺️
Yes
Yes
Yes
Yes yes
Read Thy Brother’s Keeper you won’t be bored.
Author?
@Claire Laura Evans Coombs
If it’s too bad. Read it for so long than switch to a different book and go back and forth. I had to do this with book “it.”
Yes! Life is too short to read books you don’t love. ?
Yes
Yep!
Yes
Totally, if it’s one you borrowed from the library, you can always reborrow it, if it’s one you own, put it back on a shelf until you feel the time is right to pick it up again. As everyone else has said, life is way too short to read books that we just aren’t into!!!
Yep.
Yes
Life is too short to read boring books.
@Sonia couldn’t agree more! Ditch boring books.
@Mo see! No boring books lol
Yea but I like my book!
U said u were bored lol
yea I little.. haha
Yes
I always do if it’s not interesting.
Yes, there are too many good books to waste time on ones you don’t enjoy
I need to get in the habit of DNF’ing books so I say yes move one!
If it’s not grabbing you move on life is too short to waste time on something you feel is a chore rather than enjoying it.
I’ve learned to move on to the next book
I have read a lot of books. If I can’t get into it in the first chapter I put it down. Some books seem to be good at first, then it hits a dry wall in the middle. Like the author is trying to thicken the book… Put the boring book down. Life is too short.?
Yes
Yes, too much good to waste time on something your not enjoying!
After 50-60 pages I have started to put books aside and try a new one.
Life is too short to read bad books.
Yes
Yasss
My good bookish friend and I, have a loosey-goosey rule: if, by the page equivalent to your age, the book does not “grab you”, excite you, or otherwise hold your interest, grab it and put it back on the shelf, or wherever you deem appropriate!!
@Melanie great idea ??
Idk I’m one of those people who likes to finish a book, i believe that you learn a new thing with every book that you read, also some books seem to pick up pace in the middle so I personally say give it another chance if it’s really really boring then put it back!
I give a book until page 60 typically before I decide to quit. It seems like the length at which, even if the story is slow, you’ll know whether or not you enjoy the writing style (which is equally important to the story and characters).
Yes
Yep. You can try it again some other time.
I usually put it down and try again later.
What are you reading???
Writing style for escapism/reading for pleasure is a big deal for me.
Yes
Yes, I give them fifty pages to get me hooked.
I push through them otherwise i wudnt finish many as im picky and cant always find something im gng to love.
I started Daughter of the burning city this morning and 60 pages later, I finally had to give up. Too many other choices to read something not catching my fancy.
