For the longest time I felt like if I started a book, I had to finish it. Who knows why, it's not like the author will find out. So, in the last year or so, I've started to just *put the book down* if I'm not enjoying it and release myself from any guilt / weird feelings, and start a different book. I've read more books since I've started to mark books "did not finish" and move on. If you like short fiction, I love Treasure Island!!! by Sara Levine, and if you like short, heart wrenching memoir I love The Sarah Book by Scott McClanahan
