Reference: # of Pages Before I Will DNF A Book

This post is mainly for helping me to decide whether a DNF (did not finish) book will count toward my yearly books read or not. If I do not hit the minimum, then it can't be added to any reading challenges I undertake currently or in the future.

 

  • Under 200 Pages: Varies (Divide # of pages by 2 for minimum)
  • 200-225 pages: 100 pages minimum
  • 226-250 pages: 125 pages minimum
  • 251-299 pages: 140 pages minimum
  • 300+ pages: 150 minimum


Reminder: You do not have to finish a book if you can't get into it. No reason to waste time on a book you don't want to read.
