I don't abandon a book unless I find it extremely offensive, tedious or it makes me uncomfortable on a deep level. Life is too short to willingly endure memtal agony.
I may stop reading a book because I am not really enjoying it at the time, and finish it later and thoroughly enjoy it. A frame of mind or mood thing I guess.
I don't attempt to keep track though.
I have many ebooks and pbooks and a wonderful library system so I have always something to read, and more often than not I read a book from start to finish and enjoy every word.
