      Unpopular-I’m-sure-opinion: for me, the turning point was A Confederacy of Dunces. Hit page 100, just http://could.not.see.why.everyone.loved.it  and put it down. First book where I did that on purpose. Felt... so liberating.https://twitter.com/scicurious/status/1014908137646804992 …

      Does anyone else have a hard time giving up on books they are reading but not enjoying? I should just give it up! Why am I dying on the hill of a crappy steampunk paperback!?

          Is that a ACOD reference? I remember exactly zero about that book, other than getting to the end of each page and thinking, “ok, the NEXT page will be one that is funny and not just painful and explains why all my friends INSISTED I read it.” And then being disappointed again.

          Yes it is. I read it for school in 12th grade and then my whole family read it, many of its phrases entering the household patois, so I can’t judge the book clearly. And I ust bonded with a young Italian legal scholar over it at an after-conference party; the book keeps giving!

          But I know the feeling you describe and felt it acutely with Patrick Leigh-Fermor’s Time of Gifts, ach whatxa bitter disappointment
