When is it okay to DNF a book?
What does PFN mean?
I had been struggling with Verity for a few weeks, I asked you in a poll whether I should DNF it, you resoundingly said yes.

Books shown or Mentioned:
Verity by Colleen Hoover
The Wife Upstairs by Freida McFadden
Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens
Under the Volcano by Malcolm Lowry
The Bicentennial Man by Isaac Asimov
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson
The Disaster Area by J G Ballard

And this video suggests we may be DNFing too readily: youtu.be/cIjprSC4rjE?si=x2SrJr0GKvjdcRAc
