If you decide a book is crappy, it is evil to finish it.
When I leave a book unfinished for awhile, I frequently start from the beginning again. I started War and Peace seven times before I made it thru the party in the beginning. It's one of my favorite books now.
It is rare for me to permanently abandon a book, because I am usually relying on the opinions of others as to whether it's good, and I tend to believe them. You have to be in the right mood for some books.
I have abandoned a few books just before the climactic end, because I could care less what happened. It was a great feeling; you should try it.
