Too many interesting books around to stick with books you do not like for whatever reason.
For me it does not matter if a book is bad or it just does not resonate however famous the book or writer is, or how much I liked other books by him/her. If a book does not engage me, I do not read it, period.
There are books that require a (relatively) long time for me to read since they are dense and I want to appreciate their flavor, and books that I read in several sittings depending on available time, but in either case the book engaged me enough.
If somehow a book engages me, but then it becomes boring or predictable (it happens once in a while), I just fast read through it to see if it gets interesting again and continue to read it from there or just get to the end and see what happens.
