I tried to read Infinite Jest, and it just pissed me off. It was such an annoying text to try and read. I think I read at most 10 pages.
Likewise, I have “rage quit” reading other books in the past as well.
It’s solid advice. Don’t waste time reading something you are not enjoying. Same goes for movies.
- rpacut 4y agoThe first time i picked up Infinite Jest it was a drag for 200 pages and I dropped it. Tried it second time. Went through those terrible 200 first pages... and suddenly I was on the 900th wishing hard it wasn't about to end. One of favourite books to this day. I'm general, this is an online problem: how long do you want to persevere on any given book if it's not immediately gratifying? I often take into consideration whether I enjoyed other author's works and friends suggestions.
