Great that you started reading again! I had also been on a hiatus for a few years and picked it up again last winter. It took me a while to find stuff I enjoy reading and sometimes I still choose books that aren't right for me, but I've learned that it's okay to just not finish a book. If I'm not enjoying it, why continue? There are so many books out there, there is bound to be a better one.
yeah that's fair! i don't mind not finishing things but i have to be having a bad time and feel like i am getting nothing out of it. mostly i can find worthwhile elements in media that otherwise is not my jam, it is kind of a challenge i give myself, to find buried treasure in a way. if something isn't even fun for me in that way then it is definitely time to hit the bricks tho.
