Kudos to you for sticking to the book that doesn't
interest you. Apart from the fact that I wouldn't take
a Star Trek book in the first place, seeing in the
library the kind of paper they're published in and
knowing there are people here who really like them, I
think if I ran into problems as you are I'd release it
and post a request for someone more interested to
validate.
On the other hand, I have occasionally taken a book
that needed me that I didn't really enjoy, and I did
finish. In I found in one case that an well-known
author whose books I thought I should read, I didn't
really care for, so I won't read the others--and in
the case of a non-fiction book, I learned to be really
careful before taking the book. I finally ended up in
that case not doing my usual careful validating job
about half-way through but just doing a spell-check
and eyeballing the page for footnotes and dates--and
hoping I got them all. E has learned my tastes, smile,
and knows which books to suggest I might fix and which
ones she knows I would prefer not to.
I admire E., too, for tackling the non-fiction books
she does. Maybe they fit her interests, though they
wouldn't mine, but from the varied titles they appear
to be ones with limited general interest that maybe
she takes out of the goodness of her heart.
