I feel very lucky to have been brought up in a house where reading was never fetishized, or necessarily encouraged, but my parents and siblings did it incessantly.
Reading was a leisure activity, rather than some kind of moral imperative. As a result, I tend to ditch books I'm not enjoying after ~ 50-100 pages, and I tend to reread books I've enjoyed a lot.
I used to have a slight issue with continuing to read books where I wanted to know what happened, but wasn't enjoying them. Films too. Wikipedia plot summaries have solved this!
