When do you give up on a bad book?

I live by the mantra never judge a book by it's cover. I love to give every book the benefit of the doubt.

With that said when do you stop reading a book you can't get into?

Is it after a certain amount of pages or even chapters?

I am a reader that lives in denial. I keep going just hoping that eventually the author will captivate me. It doesn't matter even if it takes me a month to read it. I will not read another till I finish it.

I feel like I am cheating on the book if I do. I made a commitment and I am sticking to it.

My husband, Rooster, thinks I should just throw in the towel when it comes to this.

I always tell him, "What if I give up and it gets good and I am missing out?"

I will always live in regret of not knowing what will happen.

Am I crazy? I just very well may be.
