Quick #question of the day.
Do you read books that you know you're going to hate, or think you're going to hate? Feel free to add comments below on why - will add a few of these to an article. Also, if you could please share, that would be most helpful.
Not regularly, but it has happened and will again. And when it does, I usually approach like an academic; trying to understand why and how it sucks, which makes the process enjoyable for me still
I belong to a book club whose members are mostly coworkers. We meet outside work, and while there is a lot of overlap in the Venn diagram of our tastes, there are a couple of people who like books that are so not my type. I still read them because that is how the group works. If we don’t all read the text, the discussion would be kinda flat, and I love the discussions.
@suswatibasu I think there’s a meaningful difference between being bored out of your mind by something and being morally repulsed by it.
I’ll slog through the boring and not-my-thing books if I want to see what others get from them, and see whether my interests expand with the activity; after all, sometimes I just need to get into something before I want to keep going.
I just don’t have the stomach for anything longer than articles of something I deem morally heinous, though.
