Since then, I’ve read all of Austen’s works, rekindled my love for George Eliot, and even dipped my usually non-sci-fi-loving toe into the arid deserts of Dune. Since trying it out, I’ve gone from reading maybe a book a month to five (massive) books this month so far, with my sixth on my coffee table as I write. Unsurprisingly, for readers, that just means giving up on a book you don’t like rather than ploughing on with a novel you hate. For some reason, like not finishing my plate, I always found “DNF” to be a source of shame. If I’m not having fun, I’m not reading that book”.
