My reading speed is slow and my to-read list is long. I used to force myself to finish every book I started but now I'll happily give up on anything that doesn't grab me fairly quickly.

I've also been working on only adding things to my list that I actually want to read and avoiding books that I add only because I want to have read them.

Is there a title in particular that triggered your interest in reading?

I started by reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Reading it was such a wonderful experience that I have read 2 more books since then. (Started reading 3 months ago)
100% agree that the point of reading is not anything to do with finishing books!
