>Never not finished a book myself and I read a lot - can't say I loved every book I've ever read, but I don't regret the time spent finishing them, even the least enjoyable ones. I agree. I read a lot of books too, and I've only given up on a few. Mostly I don't remember what they were (after all, I disliked them enough not to finish them), but BattleField Earth[0] comes to mind. Gosh, what an awful read. Never did finish that one. Ugh. Other than those few, I'm not sad I finished any of the books I wasn't that into.[1] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Earth_(novel) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Earth_(novel) [1] N.B.: I'm referring to fiction exclusively here.
