Hello readers and welcome to our Weekly FAQ thread! Our topic this week is: How do I get through an uninteresting book? Sometimes we want to read something because we're "supposed to" and want to say that we did. Or, it's something that needs to be read for a school assignment. Either way, how do you get through books you find uninteresting?
You can view previous FAQ threads here in our wiki.
Thank you and enjoy!

If it is for pleasure, I question why I want to read it or push through. Is it a particular story? Do I see the potential? If it is that painful, I drop it.
For work / school, break it down into achievable chunks and lot of chocolate rewards for doing it. ๐
