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.

No, because there is no reason to feel bad about not finishing something you don't like. This isn't eating vegetables for 10 year olds. You're an adult and can choose what you like and don't like. If you don't like something, there isn't some group of people standing over your shoulder judging you for your tastes.

Also, I don't get super invested in books. If I'm reading a book that is not that good, I can be fine finishing it if it isn't a very long book. It's (usually) not physically painful. I can also be fine putting down a book I'm really loving for a long time if my life is really busy. I'll pick it up when I get a chance.
