I hated every book I had to read in school. Back then all were boring and totally meaningless to me. And on top of that I had to interpret this shit. How was I supposed to know what the writer had in mind (if anything at all) when he or she wrote this trash? Maybe he or she just wrote it to make a living or to fulfill a contract?
These books I've finished and the premise "The ones you finished only out of spite" is more or less fulfilled.
Nowadays with ebooks I just stop reading when I find a book boring after a few pages. One novel I stopped reading recently because the author used "them" as a pronoun for one of the protagonists. I really have no interest in people who deny biology and construct anything other than men and women.
Another novel I stopped lately after a few pages because the language used was absolutely turgidly. The cover on the other hand looked very nice. I'm always a sucker for an attractive cover. One of my favourite novels I bought because I liked the cartoon cover by Daniel Torres.
