About This Quote
We often say that we read to finish the book. However, that isn’t always true. You can read a book just to enjoy it and absorb it. Reading is not something you should rush through, but rather something you should take time with.
There are many times when reading for pleasure is more important than finishing the book or getting it to the end of the story. For example, if you are reading about a hobby or interest, you should enjoy what you are reading first before moving on. Or, if you're putting off reading because you think the end is near, concentrate on the beginning of the story first.
If you follow this advice, then there is no reason to be nervous about finishing a book that you like.
