I'll stop reading a book because it's so badly written or because it's about some topic that just doesn't interest me or because I just don't like it for any number of reasons. I pick my books pretty carefully so that doesn't happen often but every now and then I'll stop reading a book.

But if a book is capable of stirring powerful emotions in me that, to me, is a good thing and makes me want to keep going. I may take a break if it gets hard to bear but it'll be a short break.
