If I'm reading book that isn't catching my interest, I'll usually set it aside and try it again in a few months. I've tried to read A Spool of Blue Thread twice now, because I have an aversion to not finishing Anne Tyler.

If I stop reading a book because it is poorly written, or full of errors, I might jump to the last few pages to read the end. But some have been so bad, that I didn't care. The one that springs to mind is the one where a doctor in 1865 or so was giving antibiotic injections, and contained the worst dialog I've ever read.

Life is too short to slog through bad writing. (Or bad lighting, remembering Baba Wawa from SNL)
