In the perfect follow-up to last week’s question, as suggested by C in DC:
Is there a book that you wish you could “unread”? One that you disliked so thoroughly you wish you could just forget that you ever read it?
Honestly, I cannot say I wish I could "unread" a book. No matter how good or bad a book is, what most matters to me is the reading journey and whether or not if I have learned something from the story. Most of the times, I try to finish a book even if it fails to entertain me. However, I will give up on a book if after reading a few more chapters and I still couldn't find myself interested in the story. While typing this, Stephen King's Cell comes to mind because I remember I couldn't finish reading it. Don't get me wrong, Stephen King is a great author and I loved his works, but that book just didn't work for me. However, this does not mean I wish I could "unread" the book because "unread" and "not finishing" it is two different matters.
What about you?
