And now, for the serious answer ...Jfoust1988 wrote: ↑28 Mar 2018, 22:05 I recommend it actually. When you grow and change your take on books will do the same. You may read a book you hated and find you love it.
Exactly what I was going to say. Life experience lends a lot to our appreciation or disaffection with what we read. The more we can relate what we read to things we ourselves have experienced, or at least given the time to think about, the more we can understand the author's message and intent. There have been some books however which I have decided to give a second chance which still did not work for me, so it is not a slam/dunk, but if I own the book anyway or can get it at the library I mean, like, what-the-heck - give it another shot someday. You might be pleasantly surprised.

If I recently decided to hate a book, I'll most likely wait a little while before picking it up again. Unless I'm reading it for a reason (i.e. I want to talk about it with someone, or it's required reading) I'll probably let it sit for a few days to a few years.

A book that made me angry or elicited strong emotions in me, maybe, but not one I hated.
