Yes to 'just putting the book down'. I firmly believe there's no time for giving a book multiple chances when red alerts are sounding to stop reading. Too many good/great/life changing books are out there waiting to be read! Obviously this becomes harder with required reading for a course etc.
Some books suit particular seasons in life better than others. When I attempted to read Gilead by Marilynne Robinson post partum and sleep deprived— it was definitely not the season for it. I needed something faster paced. Reading it this year ( years later) it was delightful. The slow contemplative pace was exactly what I needed in this season.
Thank you for the shoutout, brother!
You're most welcome! It was a good video, I look forward to seeing more.
