How do I get over this hurdle of having impossible standards

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 15 03:20:05 2020 No.16134032 >>16132278 You should decide whether the book is good or not before starting to read. Do your research then read with confidence.

>>	Anonymous Sat Aug 15 03:30:55 2020 No.16134062 >>16132278 Try to set some benchmark for yourself. If, after having read one hundred pages, the book is still not interesting, you might be justified in setting it aside. t. Considering dropping Kafka on the Shore
