I succumb to peer pressure. If the book is a classic then I feel compelled to continue even if it isn't grabbing me. If the book is a "beach read" bestseller and it doesn't work for me, then I quit.
I feel the pressure to finish it because I've been told I'm supposed to like it. I don't know why I would care; it isn't like I would end up discussing it at a cocktail party.
