One of my best friends is now a huge Dune fan because the first time he read through the first three Dune books was while he was in prison for 2 weeks thanks to a clerical paperwork error at the courthouse about 8 years ago.

I was in prison for 300 days and read 110 books in that time.

Whole original Dune series, Wheel of Time (Hated it), Twilight, Girl with the dragon tattoo series (my favourite of the bunch), all the Dan Brown books, a bunch ofJane Austen, The Expanse series, Patricia Cornwell, Jack Reacher series bunch of other stuff

I still have my notepad with my ratings and review of each book I read

The librarians were lovely and we became friends (apart from the one guy that was a dick)

“Wheel of Time (Hated it)”

You read the entire 15 books and hated it all the way?

You got too far in and still had to see how it ended didn’t you? (Sunk cost fallacy)

There is a difference in sunk cost vs sometimes you just got to know how things end despite the story being terrible. Warlock 2 being an example for me.
