It is said in the blurb that the almost perfect society discovered by the protaginst has a "dark secret"... but if I abandon the book I'll never know, unless I look it up.

Did you ever abandon a book and if so, do you do so quickly, or keep reading in the hopes that it gets better?
Knowing exactly what you mean by reading those books during high school, I'd do what I also did during high school (and still do at times)

Skip large parts and only read the interesting bits, or simply read the summary....

I loved to read, I still love to read (they never succeeded in destroying my love for reading during those highschool days!), but I haven't read every single book I said I had read. Only those that I really enjoyed (I read De Kleine Johannes I, II and III and naturally, only one counted!)
