Serious question: should a book club read a dud to the end or call it early?
Our club picked a 500 page literary novel last month, and by page 150 everyone was dragging. Half wanted to push through for the discussion, the other half wanted to switch to a shorter book we already had on our list. We voted, stuck with the dud, and the final meeting was 40 minutes of people admitting they skimmed the last 200 pages. Has anyone else forced a book to the end and regretted it, or do you think finishing builds better debate skills even when the read is rough?

Page 150 is plenty of time to know a book is dead weight.
