Hate your book? What do you do?



  • I toss/recycle it. There's no point in wasting my time.
  • I put it aside for later, when I have nothing better to read.
  • I suffer from FEBYS - Finish Every Book You Start disease.
  • Other: please post your reply below!

Fun Poll Question - Thanks, Dee!


What do I do when I dislike a book?

I think I might try that, Teri. I'm really struggling with this one. Too bad, but there a ton of great books I could be spending my time on!


I hope I don't get the shakes from my FEBYS!

I always put them aside for when there's nothing else to read.

I think I'll put this one book I'm reading aside for later. Maybe I'll have better luck next read. I feel better about putting it away for later than recycling it without giving it a real chance.


Maybe that's an extended version of FEBYS? I'll still finish it... eventually. *g*

I have FEBYS disease too, but I wanted to say that I LOVE that picture of you and your little girl.

Life is too short to waste on a bad book!

Thanks Teri and Sarenna, that is one of my fave pics of just the two of us!


Anne, I agree, I could never just toss a book! That feels so wrong.


I never thought of getting rid of my books at Goodwill. I always opted for those used bookstores that will trade or pay me for mine. They are really picky, though, so I still have a bunch of books that were "unwanted." Goodwill, here I come! Thanks for the idea!
