But to each his own.
Yeah, the book I DNF'd was the latest in a long-running series. I assume that when Covid happened the author included it because the stories are set in contemporary England and she wanted it to reflect the state of the world as she was writing, not out of any ulterior motive. My choosing not to read it was because I want fiction to be an escape, not a reminder of bad events in real life.

Maybe someday all this will be far enough in the past that I'll be ok with reading such a book. I'm just not there yet.
