I used to proudly state that I finished every book I started reading. (I can be proud of the oddest things.)
Now, though, I proclaim,
"Life is too short to waste it on a bad book." 
"Merrily abandon with extreme prejudice" is my modus operandi. You have a few pages. Maybe even a couple short chapters. If the book doesn't click with me by then, out it goes.
