If you are reading a and find it really heavy going do you just give up and change or do you continue until the end? @bookstodon

For me, it depends how long. For example, I read Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delaney and found it very dense and hard to follow. But I kept going and ended up really enjoying it a lot.
On the other hand, I started with the Hobbit, then I got half way through The Two Towers and couldn't keep going. I put it down and couldn't pick it back up again. It wasn't a difficult read, but it was a lot to read.

@An0n I fully understand the length argument. I think mood can also play a role in enjoyment.

@bibliolater
That's a good point. I'm not going to start a full, rich, thought-provoking journey of a read if all I want is a simple fun romp through space.
