Now, I’m mostly a library borrower, so there isn’t a big financial issue. But when I do buy a book, being certain it’s one I would like, I still often find I was wrong, and abandon it.

I dunno, I guess it's just a completely different mindset from mine. As I said, I finish books, but even without that compulsion, I rarely think something is so boring that I don't want to finish. Mostly when I end up disliking a book, it's because of a clunky or stupid ending; the journey is fine until it ends up in nowheresville.
