When I turned 50 I finally had the gumption to let myself stop reading a book if I really wasn't getting something out of it, or just not enjoying it. It only took 50 years but it was liberating! I used to keep reading regardless, sure that "it HAS to get better in the next chapter" or "something will happen in the next chapter to bring this all together."
