That's practically descripes me.Yesterday I read this really boring history novel but I had to know what happened so I just skipped to the last few pages.But normally I am a always total start to finish reader just because that's me and my reading personality.Bookworm2011 wrote:I am definitely one of the"I've started so I finish" I always have some hope that the book may get better in the end. If I really don't like a book it takes me a lot longer but I always have to finish so I won't be wondering how it ended.
Are you a quitter?

That's exactly what I do. I feel uncomfortable with not knowing how a book I started ended.Maud Fitch wrote:Not a quitter, more of a skipper.
I don't do it when reading good books but I've been known to skip chunks of disagreeable books.
However before skipping i normally try reading another book with it instead of reading it straight through if that doesn't work I skip.

- Latest Review: "A World Within Our World" by J. M. Parker
If a book just, quite simply, sucks, I will keep plodding along, complaining all the while. I will only really give up if it's extremely offensive or uncomfortable to read, and that happens pretty rarely (I can only think of a couple of books this ever happened with).
Haaa I wish I could be like this. Nothing to be ashamed about! You have no idea how many junky books I have finished, cursing myself at every page.3chicnP wrote:I'm a quitter and I know it in my heart and soul. If I don't like the book I'm reading, I'll quit right away without a second thought. I'm ashamed.
