Have you ever felt that you should diligently finish reading a book even if it was uninteresting?
And, I've discovered that if i persevere and dig deep into the pages of that seemingly boring book, I usually find something that actually catches my interest.

Later, I felt bad for lying to him and demanded to read the book again. I understood the summary then proceeded to read the book again. Out of nowhere, I decided the book was just wasn't for me at that time. I returned it.
In response to your question, YES. I believe there is a lot to learn in a book. Even if the book lacks a good storyline or is unnecessarily complicated, I could study the authors use of words, descriptions, his composition in general and learn how to fix my mistakes. All in all, its about exploring uncharted territories for me

This is so me I don't force myself.Shanice_xoxo wrote: ↑22 Jul 2020, 17:26 Yes I have. But I quickly dismiss the idea that it's a sign of laziness: the ocean of books is too vast to waste time forcing yourself to read an uninteresting book.

Our life is bound by time. Our time is the most valuable thing we have so we better not waste it. It's not about the money, it's often about our time.

Yes! I often have that kind of experience too. The book just starts making sense in the middle of reading it.venxsfi wrote: ↑04 Aug 2020, 14:01 When normally reading a book, I will push myself to finish, regardless of my interest in the plot. Often, the beginning of a book or a series starts at a slow pace, fleshing out world-building details or a backstory that prefaces the main story. There have been numerous instances where I ended up enjoying a book later into reading after wading through the parts that didn't interest me.
