for now i accepted that i don't have to finish every book i start

for years i forced myself to finish every book because i felt like quitting meant i failed. the problem was i'd get stuck reading books i wasn't enjoying, and it made me read less overall. now if i'm halfway through and it's not teaching me anything or i'm just not interested anymore, i put it down and move on.

i've actually finished more books this year because i'm spending my time on the ones that keep me interested instead of trying to prove i can finish everything. i'm curious if anyone else changed their mindset about this, or if you still make yourself finish every book no matter what.
