How to Read a Boring Book

Sometimes even the most dedicated reader might encounter a book that's difficult to get through. Whether it's a book you're reading for school, for a book club, or just something that looked and sounded more appealing than it is, you may get a few chapters (or a few pages) in and realize it's not your cup of tea. However, it's important to finish books (even the ones you don't particularly enjoy) because of what they can offer you: knowledge, an escape, or just a simple pleasurable afternoon. Keep reading, and find ways to stay focused and engaged until you reach the end of the book - you'll almost certainly be glad you did.
