Q&A

I'll ask the questions, you provide the answers.  Ready?

How much of a book do you read before you quit?
What makes you quit a book before finishing?

My Thoughts:

I try to give a book a good sporting chance before quitting, so I made a rule to read at least 100 pages before allowing myself to put the book down forever.  I feel like that is ample time for the author to get over the boring stuff and captivate me.  

I usually quit a book if it is super boring, I can't stand the characters, I think the book is dumb, or if I don't understand what the heck is going on.

  Your turn.  What are your thoughts on these questions?
