I always read at least 50 pages of a book before I make a judgment about the book's quality. When I do not like the book after 50 pages, I rationalize what to do with it. I try to learn from the mistake and increase my expertise to select books. Sometimes, I discover that I am being judgmental. If so, then I continue to read. Other times, I find that I really do not like the book.
I try to discover what happened. Was I ripped off by advertising, or was I fooled by the beginning of the story? Was there an even deeper flaw? Unfortunately, there have been books that I had to stop reading. I was not getting what I had expected from the stories.
