How do you push through a book you aren't enjoying? (feddit.uk)

I ask because I tend to jump off a book if It's not grabbing me, which at times limits me with regards to what I'm reading.

Does it matter? Is it something I should try to push past or am I overthinking this and should just enjoy what I enjoy?

Huge fan of Do Not Finish. There are too many good books out there to waste time with mediocre ones. I've noped out of books by my favorite authors. Finishing a book you started because you started it is the perfect example of the sunk cost fallacy.
