I recently wrote an android app to help rank your favorite things, and its been really helpful for ranking my fav books. Rank-my-favs

Anytime I finish a new book, it gets added and sorted in the list.

There have been a few books I tried reading because they were hyped up by media or came from a top 10 list.

All I can say is I'm glad I didn't finish them out of some sense of completion. It's ok to not like something and give it up.

Occasionally I read something I don't like. Usually I learn something because of it. Sometimes I figure out I don't like it halfway through, finish it, but then imagine a better ending.

I agree with the post, mostly. I don't think anyone should read things they dislike, but I also think there are books that are required reading.

Reading a good summary or review may be enough, but not knowing who Romeo and Juliet are could be a problem even if not reading the book isn't.
