Do you stick with books you don’t enjoy?

Yes, but as I possibly said on that thread, if you’re abandoning books regularly, it’s a sign you’re not choosing them carefully enough.

I give a book fifty pages. If I'm not enjoying it after that I give up and read something else. There are so many great books in the world, why waste my time reading something I don't like?

I couldn't get into Wolf Hall either - loved the TV show but the book just never quite hooked me.

Don't feel guilty OP, you're probably not missing out. I've read a lot of books for book groups that I knew early on that I wasn't enjoying. I never got into them.

I didn't gain any new perspectives or insights I couldn't have got from reading a summary online!

I get the majority of my books from the library or charity shops so have no problem with not finishing them if I’m not enjoying them. I have persevered with some dreadful (IMO) book club books in the past, but now feel ok saying I didn’t finish one and give the reasons why, which contributes to the discussion.

OP, what are you feeling guilty about? That you’ve spent money on the book, that you feel obliged to the author, that you feel you should be enjoying a popular book, or something else?

There is a current thread on this same topic. The consensus seems to be that it's fine to abandon.
It's a skill that comes with age.

Interestingly I used to feel some moral imperative to finish any book I started.

I now give myself permission to stop if I am not enjoying it.

There is a slight difference-some feel a bit of a slog at points but I can persevere (Anna Karenina sagged a bit in the middle-bogged down in heavy political issues but worth it) others are just not worth my time and I feel happy to never look at them again.

Depends.

The one I’m currently reading is getting a bit boring but there are only 6 chapters left so I’ll finish it.

I stopped reading the Cazalet Chronicles halfway through the second or third book, not sure which, because there were so many descriptions of messy eaters in there that I was starting to feel sick.

I read for enjoyment so if I am not enjoying the book I will stop and go to a different one.

Oh and I give them away - but I also give away books I have read. I keep some but I try to be careful of keeping things for things sake.

As above. I used to until I realised that it made no difference to anyone else but made a huge difference to me. I love reading and when it becomes a chore then I would do everything to avoid finishing that chore.
If something isn't working for me - I'm ok with that even if i 'should ' enjoy it (looking at you Wolf Hall etc).
If it was an album of music you weren't enjoying would you devote 25hours plus listening to it 'just to make sure'?
One life and as I get older I don't want to regret anymore time wasted that I can prevent.

It depends how long it is tbh. I have several books I have half read waiting for me to pick them up again, but usually it's from lack of time I stop. However I recently tried Josephine Tey after seeing on here she was meant to be similar to Agatha Christie. I started with The Franchise Affair which I found hugely conservative, with child abuse where the victim was blamed and the man testified in court against her! I had bought 3 books at the same time of hers as there was an offer on and thankfully the first didn't put me off because the second one I read was Brat Farrar, which was so much better and a completely different vibe. I really enjoyed it and was glad I didn't write her off after one book. About to start the last, Daughter of Time and hoping it is like the last.

I used to doggedly continue once I'd started a book but for the past ten years or so I have decided life is too short. If after two chapters I'm uninterested still I ditch it and move on.
