Have you ever regretted slogging through a book and wasting your time on it?

Yah, this is probably the most common subject of discussion I have had with readers: how much of a book do you read before you call it quits? Do you finish what you start?

I'm a completionist so once I start something I cannot really quit it unless it devolves into the extremes. The book I posted is a 450 pager so I stomached through it, but wouldn't if it was 1.2k words long.

The only things I've given up on are various TV series (but mostly on the first episode) and Hitman: Absolution
