    Just stop reading. It should be a nice and relaxing experience, not some sort of accomplishment. I know, school teaches otherwise…

      My wife is reading through some top 500 books or whatever list and she always struggles with this. If you give it 50-100 pages and get nowhere, just put it down and call it a loss.

      Meanwhile, I’m just reading scifi and fantasy stuff that comes well recommended and rarely have to give up on a book.
