I'm completely in favor of dropping a book once you find you're forcing yourself to continue reading it. I'll stick with it for a while to see if it improves, but if it doesn't then I just quit. I read for enjoyment and entertainment, so if I'm not getting that from a book, why continue? I have to spend too much time as it is doing things I don't enjoy, reading shouldn't be unpleasant as well. If your purpose in reading is something else, by all means force yourself through it, but if you read for fun, then I say drop the book. Life is too short, and there are too many books to read.
