> It is fundamental that you keep focused on your current book and don't exchange it for another. Focus on finishing, one at a time (or 2 or 3, try not to pass the 3 books at the same time barrier). Great post, but I halfway disagree with this point. I made a huge gain as a reader when I decided to stop feeling guilty for abandoning a decent book halfway through. Lots of times you get the thesis of the book and a few good examples in the first half, and then you're better off jumping around until you find something else that makes you really need to read it.
