it takes me AGES to decide on a new book to read. Anyone else? I don't like DNF'ing books, so I get worried i won't like the book, and would have to then DNF it, which i don't like.

Nothing wrong with DNF-ing. If a book doesn't suit you, move on. If I watch a tv show that everyone raves about I give it a maximum of 3 episodes and then move on if I don't like it (eg. Andor Season 2). Not for me at this point and maybe come back some point in the future. Same with books. If a book hasn't held my interest in 30ish pages I put it aside for something that will. Sometimes I go back. Too many books and too little life to spend time fretting.
