I voted:

"I rarely do not complete a book I finish. (It's happened just a few times in my entire history)"

Because...well isn't this true for everyone? In fact now that I think about it, all those who voted for it, including me are liars because I expect we NEVER do not complete books we finish. Seriously was I the only one who noticed this?

On a less nitpicky note, the spirit of this selection holds true for me - I have a hard time giving up on a book and it almost never happens. The only one in recent memory is House of Leaves which I have tried a few times and, while interesting, is far too complicated and I start losing stamina after about 100 pages. This has, however, resulted in my punishing myself by reading books that I found truly horrible. Still, it has also meant that some of the books which I struggled to get into e.g. Special Topics in Calamity Physics have become my favourites.
