Hi Authors
It's a funny thing to read a book until the end.
But it was annoying and boring..!
You do not feel pleasure, just did it because you promised yourself so ...
You've accustomed yourself ,to complement anything started.
Did you this?

Reading a book is a pleasure. It is not an obligation, a drudgery, or like running some marathon you signed up for and trained to complete even if it kills you. I sometimes walk out of movies; I also sometimes abandon a book because it doesn't grab my imagination or because my mood is not in sync with the book's contents. Books to me are like ice cream cones; sometimes I just need a different "flavor".

Sometimes I never return to a particular book; other times I give it another shot, and find I am inexplicably ready for what it offers. I shall give you a recent example:
About two years ago I attempted to read a classic novel called "To the Lighthouse" by Virginia Woolf. I found it emotionally inaccessible, dry as a bone, and a bore. I decided to give it another try about 2 months ago and had a most wonderful reading experience once I got the hang of the writer's style; I was, for whatever reason, ready for what the book offered.
If you are only feeling annoyed and bored why force yourself to consume something you have no appetite for? There are thousands upon thousands of wonderful books; try something else! Reading should be a joy. It also has great benefits to the brain, but let's not get too clinical here. There are few pleasures in life as wonderful as starting a book and then being so entranced by it you are barely able to put it down.

Read what tickles your imagination, piques your curiosity, whether you are more drawn to the winter tundra or wild seas of a Jack London or Herman Melville novel, the magic of Harry Potter, or are inclined to peep through the key-hole to see what transpires in the kinky bedroom of Fifty Shades of Gray, read for pleasure and read for fun.

I always thought one of the tragedies of high school was that they attempted to force us to read certain books rather than providing a list to choose from. Nothing is quite so alienating as as being told you must read a particular book when it doesn't interest you in the least; that's a good way to turn students off from reading, in my opinion. Thank God once we are adults no one is going to hand out gold or silver stars like we are in grade school for finishing books we read with all the relish of a child forcing himself to enjoy turnips!
Read for pleasure; it is one of life's greatest joys.

On the other hand, force yourself to read John Steinbeck. (just kidding...)

Mr Steven
Welcome
I am very pleased of your answer and your opinion,because it is Honest and important.
I have read the book:
Austerity:The History of a Dangerous Idea
By
Mark Blyth
It is not literary Book!.
They said: curiosity killed the cat.
*********
It is speaks about the international economic austerity and the failure of the idea in general.
***************
These types of books, it is not necessary to read carefully, but I thing only for general understanding , and for the general culture.
**************
I have read again ;
The novel: In Search of Lost Time
A novel by Marcel Proust
Why does the author speak too much about poor room?.
For example?.
He is writes many pages, while several lines enough to know he was a poor ????.
This is the reason for my question: Why do they explain so much ???

I have enjoyed reading and sharing books with other authors on Goodreads. I have found myself reading a variety of books that were new, interesting, and different from what I usually choose.
