I always do my best to finish the book, including the foreword and any other additional texts that the book may have. To me, it feels disrespectful to the author to not read the whole book, even if they've been dead for 2000 years, they still deserve respect for the work that they've done.
To me, not finishing a book is like looking at only half of a painting - you can't see the whole picture. ^^
But I do understand that these days people are obsessed over not wasting time, even though I disagree with the "must not waste time" mentality.
You know, sometimes I quite enjoy pressing the Snooze button and just taking in the cold fresh morning air while enjoying the warmth of my blanket.
I used to think this way, but think about all of the amazing books that you didn't experience because you were stuck on a book that didn't click with you. There are a bazzilion books, you aren't going to read them all, you might as well read what clicks with you.
