Are you trapped in a literary prison, forcing yourself through a book you secretly HATE? A firestorm erupted in an Avonetics community, exposing the secret war every reader fights: when is it okay to just STOP? Forget everything you've been told. Some users swear by the 50-page or 20% rule, a rigid system to cut their losses. Others are ruthless, dropping a book at the first sign of a clunky sentence or a boring protagonist, arguing that life is simply too short for bad prose. Then there's the money dilemma—the crushing guilt of abandoning a book you paid hard-earned cash for versus the liberating freedom of a library card. This explosive Avonetics discussion dives deep into the psychology of the "sunk cost fallacy" that keeps you chained to terrible stories. We're dissecting the heated debate between reading for pure, unadulterated pleasure and grinding through a text for a specific purpose. This isn't just a conversation; it's a rebellion against reading guilt. Discover the ultimate criteria for breaking free and find out if you're a 'finisher' or a 'quitter' and unlock the permission you desperately need to build a reading list you truly, deeply love.
