I finally stopped trying to read every book my club picks

For years, I forced myself to finish every single book, even the ones I hated (like that 500 page historical novel about 18th century tax law). About six months ago, I gave myself permission to quit after 100 pages if it wasn't working. Now I just read a good summary and join the talk anyway. It made the whole experience way more fun. Has anyone else tried a rule like this, or do you feel you have to finish the book to have a real opinion?

500 pages on 18th century tax law sounds like actual torture.

Ever heard of the 50 page rule? I quit a book last week and felt zero guilt.
