It's really rare not to finish a book, but it happened to me around 3 or 4 times in my whole life. And one of those books I intend to try again in the near future.
I choose careful what I read. Usually, when I pick up a book, I've already heard about it, read reviews, blogs, etc. So it's rare to really get disapointed/negatively surprised with a book.
I'm not saying all books I've read were great, but they were good enough to keep reading.
Anyway, I don't force myself to read a book I don't like or even hate, unless somehow I'm convinced I'll like the book if I preserve a little bit.
