Abandoning books: What percentage of a book do you read before deciding it's not for you and moving on to something else?

@jonobie I'm generally a completionist so I'll power through a book even if sometimes I don't want to read it. It has to just be mind numbingly terrible/incompatible with my enjoyment for me to just close it and move on. I felt that way about "Dark Matter." The author over explained basic sci-fi concepts too much and around the time they said "So schrödinger's cat was..." I was like "NOPE I CAN'T DO IT"

So I guess the answer is my percentage is 100% rage, otherwise I'll keep reading.

@ShadeSyren That’s fair. That sounds like a particularly rage inducing book!
