I feel this way about some TV shows and some of them are just not for me. Scorpion and Castle are two shows Ive started and I stopped at an episode because I realized it just wasnt for me anywhere. I have a whole list of TBW and Im not getting through it any time soon. I also need to take Scorpion and Castle off of it because Im not watching them anymore

i see you said you do it so it goes towards your reading goal on goodreads, but if you stopped reading it and picked up a book you like you’d probably finish it faster. like torturing yourself through a book you don’t like will just take longer and could delay your reading goal. personally i don’t set reading goals though so idk

Most times if I’m slogging through a book, I really like the first chapter. It’s not until I’ve already put a couple of hours into it that I start struggling
