On advice that books, once started, should be read all the way through: "This is surely a strange advice; you may as well resolve that whatever men you happen to get acquainted with, you are to keep them for life. A book may be good for nothing; or there may be only one thing in it worth knowing; are we to read it all through?"

I don't think this is advice just what those people do.
I don't always read eveything start to finish, but I admire those that do. They exhibit endurance, determination and a high tolerance for people and things that may not be completely as they like them.
