How do you push through a book you aren't enjoying? (feddit.uk)

I ask because I tend to jump off a book if It's not grabbing me, which at times limits me with regards to what I'm reading.

Does it matter? Is it something I should try to push past or am I overthinking this and should just enjoy what I enjoy?

If it isn't for a test or essay for school, why would you push through a book you didn't like?
If the phrase "time you enjoyed waisting wasn't time wasted" is true, then spending time doing things you don't want do is wasting time. Life is too short to waste time on a book you're not enjoying
