A related point is giving yourself permission to quit books that you’re not enjoying.‘I had spent so many years picking up books that people had told me I “should” read. ‘I diligently ploughed my way through literature prize longlists and shortlists. I would try to push on until the end of every one, even when I really didn’t enjoy them. Then one day, I just put a book down I didn’t love, and picked up another one which I did.
