I used to finish every book, no matter what, as a point of pride and for that secret gold star from the universe . . . and then I got older and realized life is short. I believe my 3rd eyeroll/WTF is quitting time, or when my mind starts asking "do I care about any of these characters" and the answer is NOPE.

After finishing Cheryl Strayed's Wild, I raged against the universe. And vowed never again. Just the inklings of an eye roll and a book is toast. But someone spent months or years writing that book, and so I feel guilty every time.
