As I'm far past my student years I don't _have_ to read certain books. So nowadays I read non-fiction the same as fiction: I read until the book doesn't hold my interest anymore. I don't feel compelled to have to finish a book. As you said, not reading bad books (or good books that are just not for me in that moment) leaves more time for reading other books.
I buy enough books, but I mostly read books from the library. Wonderful institutions, those are. Don't like a book? Just return it and get a few others.
