I usually read at least a quarter or halfway into a book before i give up on it, if the story doesnt interest me i put it down and never look back on it. I gave Stephen R Donaldson's Thomas Covenant Chronicles untill its second book before i gave up on it, i gave up on Saga of the Seven Suns series halfway through the third book.
I loved George RR Martin's A song of ice and fire enough to reread the whole series 3 times, and Robert Jordan's WOT books twice( i was saddened when he passed away last year

).

I used to do that untill i moved out of the us and the books i like, scifi and fantasy, became a little harder to find for me, for some reason not many people like to read those genres here (venezuela) and when i do find a book i would be interested in its a translation from a foreign language (usually english to spanish), wich is something that i dont like.
