I know a fairly spry centenarian who would never be able to start a book ever again if she used that formula!
I used to force myself to finish every book I started, but I'm not into self-inflicted punishment any more. It still takes quite a bit for me to abandon a book altogether, but I don't hesitate to do so if I'm just turning pages to get nearer to the end and getting nothing out of it.
