Pettiest reason you’ve DNF’d a book?

As an avid reader and perfectionist A type personality, I find it hard to not finish books, even when I struggle to like them.

I started reading The Circle and my wife noticed that I’d been going to the bathroom without my kindle (tmi but read a lot on the throne). I told her that the book I was reading just failed to keep me interested and connected. First 100 pgs, pretty good. Over all theme, understandable.

Everything else, and I do mean everything, is completely flat.

She asked me why I didn’t just stop. Verbatim, “You’re never going to be able to read everything you want in this lifetime if you waste time on the books you don’t.”

My mind was blown. Screw this book.

I recently started another book that was set in St. Louis, MO. While this isn’t my hometown I’ve spent a decade there. GEOGRAPHICAL NONSENSE. Do authors even bother to research the areas??? The main characters were struggling to find a landmark to explore. UM, THE ARCH???????

I wondered, what are reasons/most arbitrary reasons others have DNF’d a book?
