I almost always finish all the books I start. I feel obligated to give the author's expression/message a chance & try to find something positive in it.
But lately this is growing more & more difficult. Currently, I am reading Jodi Picoult's "Spark of Light", and I am just bored. I know she is extremely popular as an author. I see the book all over. But it's just not grabbing me, like some other authors. And honestly, I don't even care how it ends. But I'm only about 1/3 done, so I suppose I should give it a little more effort...
How often do you NOT finish a book?
Quite often. I read a LOT and get bored very very easily with books. Some are just too predictable, some are just full of bullshit, some take too long to get started, some I can't stand the characters and honestly don't care what happens to them. If a book is easy to put down then it's not worth picking it back up to me.
I put down almost every book I started for almost a year, it was horrible because I really do love to read. I just couldn't bring myself to continue.
That being said, I can't stand self help books, most non-fiction, biography, auto biography, etc.

I feel the same way. I feel like I should not judge the book until I finish it, lol!
