Perhaps I am more discerning with my book choices; only Umberto Ecco's Name of the Rose, and two books by Stephen Donaldson are the only ones I haven't finished.

Same for me. I get mega anxiety if I don't complete a book or movie, or (to a somewhat lesser extreme, but I still think about it) TV series.ayoomisope wrote: ↑11 Feb 2018, 00:57 Well, for me, I have what I refer to as a 'completion spirit'. Unfortunately, I don't stop reading a book or watching a movie even if it's bad until I just can't anymore due to reasons I can't avoid. That's why I do proper research into movies I want to see before seeing them.
If I'm not really liking a book, but I know I will finish it, I give myself reading goals (like 50 pages a day) until it's done. Then reward myself with a book I'd been meaning to read for sometime for my next selection.

Your reward system for books seems quite fascinating. I'm intrigued. Though, I think you should probably try doing about 10 mins research into anything you want to read or watch to avoid the agony/misery one sometimes has to endure.

I tend to go to imdB and if the rating is 5 points or below I just give it a pass.
