Reading is about discovering. Life is full of new experience - like how you explore in a new book. There are tons of books when you go into the bookstore. Which one should I pick from bookshelf? Which section should I go to? Science / Fiction / Art / Cultural / Travel? What you read reflect your taste, your hobbies, your lifestyles...
Okay fine, after you pick the book which you are fascinated in, you'll start to read it thru... If that's boring, put it back, go for another one quickly. Like finding your Mr / Miss Right - same process, hunt and find - til you get your favorite book.
Once you enjoy reading it, congrats! At least you pick an intriguing one. Can you finish it? Recently I'm starting to read my old book "The Little Women". I have no idea why does it take ages for me to nail it. I try to read it during my commuting time. Unfortunately still unable to finish it for a month time. However, when I pick up the same book (well actually not the same edition, cover is different though but the content the same). I feel myself more interested in reading it. That's sounds weird cos they are the same nominally.
Why is there a difference - I start to ask myself this question, I'd say the context isn't identical. But will it strike such a huge alteration? It could because of the scared resources. You need to pay in order to read it in a bookstore, instead of free reading on the bus / subway. If it's a free good, will you still interested to finish it? Maybe yes if the book itself is fascinating, vice versa.
If you meet someone, you might find him / her not that interesting. Like the old book I read. On top of that, even the same person, in different context, the feeling towards different people could be varied. Some books or some chapters you could never finish it - not only because of its content, but due to the time, the circumstances, the experience, most importantly the people, so many factors affecting.
What does matter is have you try to explore around and finish it? If so, there's no regrets - at least you've tried, even it didn't work out sometimes.
Do you still remember the unfinished chapter of your book?
