I admit that I tend to pack up the half-read books by the bedside to take away on holidays. Somehow, I rationalise that, even though a book is too boring, tedious or otherwise too “challenging” to read at home, I’ll be more motivated while I’m away.
But it doesn’t work like that! I did make an effort to pick up some of those books, but on our most recent holiday, my main reading was to re-read a couple of old favourites. Should I return the “just started” books to my bedside, or should I face the reality that I’ll probably never read them?
