To DNF or not to DNF? That is the question.
Those who do DNF books state that life is short and there are too many books to read. There's no need to finish a book if you aren't enjoying it.
Readers who don’t DNF sometimes feel like they have an obligation to the author or that they are lazy if they don’t finish. Plus, if you bought the book, it can feel especially painful to give up on it!
With a library card, deciding not to finish a book is low-risk activity. All you have spent is a few minutes of your time. You haven't lost money. So if you haven't DNFed a book before and you're looking to try something new, why not check out some of the books below? If they end up not being your thing, all you have to do is bring them back to the library so other people can try them out.
