For me it depends. If I think I'm just not ready to read that book I'll put it aside and make a mental note to try again later. I got that with Midnight's Children and I'll definitely go back to it and give it another go.

However, there are those that there's just no way I was going to finish and had no intention of giving another go. Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell for example. I held on for a couple hundred pages and then dumped it like a used dishrag.

Recently, I did bypass Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness because I found the first few pages to be painful to read, but I will go back to that one.

Regards
Caleb
