I also couldn’t get into Crime and Punishment, and I read a lot of books and loved The Brothers Karamazov. The idea of just quitting books that you enjoy is really important... for me at least, I feel like I get more out of the top 10% of books that I read than I get out of the bottom 50%. Sometimes a great book only clicks when you’re 1/4 of the way through it, though. |

Frankly, even though I did mention it in the article, I'm honestly still really struggling with this concept. Like, I literally feel guilty about dropping a book so I always try to push through as much as possible.
But hell, I started reading "Start with WHY" and I just had to drop that crap ... Like, just ... no, LOL.

Oh yeah! I had this with 11/22/63. Like, first 15% were amazing, then like 70% was pure boredom and holy crap, the last 15% was like ... FUUUUUUUUU. Made everything before that ABSOLUTELY worth it!
So, absolutely agreed - sometimes you just have to preserve!
