I’m about to stop making myself finish an older memoir written by a music icon of the 60s & 70s. Looked for this book forever. Highly regarded. I hate it but I can’t start another fun book until this is done so I am giving myself permission to stop. Life is too short and there are so many books

Good for you! I fully support this decision. The only time I force myself to finish books I’m not enjoying is if they’re really important to my work—and then I’ll do a lot of skimming.

Once you're ok with that, you can start ditching the clunkers immediately

Good for you! Have you watched Opus yet with Ayo Edebiri and Joh Malkovich where he plays a reclusive rock legend? Curious to know what you think.

It’s…honestly I’m not sure what I think about it. With its cast I had high expectations I think. Definitely not something I want to watch again

Finished it last night, wasn't great so probably not something you need to rush to watch.
