How do you decide what you are going to spend your time reading?

Will you slog through a book that starts off painfully slow? Do you employ any criteria for dropping a book, say if it doesn’t catch your interest in a chapter or, in a certain number of pages?

Are you the type of person who will finish reading any book you start?

Me: I tend to finish what I start. There have only been rare times where I’ve put a book down. But I’ve started to wonder if I need to employ a strategy so I can be sure I’m reading books I’ll love as there a LOT of books out there and not a lot of time.
