I admit to reading things I am pretty sure I'm not going to like. It is usually so that I can participate in a discussion about it. I do need to read it if I'm going to do that. However, when left on my own, I will bail out if I'm not liking something. Usually after twenty pages at most. Though John Iriving's In One Person was allowed about fifty pages to catch my attention. It didn't. I only gave it that long because I loved some of his other stuff.
