I ask because I tend to jump off a book if It’s not grabbing me, which at times limits me with regards to what I’m reading.
Does it matter? Is it something I should try to push past or am I overthinking this and should just enjoy what I enjoy?
Don’t. Life’s too short.
If you’re enjoying it but it’s a hard read take a break and try again. If you’re just not enjoying it sack it.
I don’t. When I’m clearly not enjoying a book and don’t feel like finishing it, I stop and move on. Unless I have a pressing reason, I see no point in pushing myself to do something I hate. Reading is for me is fun and interesting, it is not something I do to torture myself. Sometimes it’s hard to “give up” on a book, but in the end life is too short.
Do what you enjoy the way that works for you, there are no rules.
Why would you read a book you don’t want to?
I don’t. There way to many books that I want to read and oh so little time.
If it doesn’t grab you and you are truly not enjoying it, just DNF the book and move on.
If that doesn’t work for you, you could try to make a “goal”. Like “read 60-70 pages before DNF”.
Skip the chapter.
