So what does DNF-ing a book mean? DNF stands for “Did Not Finish,” and book lovers (predictably) use this term in relation to books we don’t finish reading.
In most cases, yes! (In fact, I think it’s okay and important enough that I include space to track DNF books in my reading tracker spreadsheet with statistics).
We have already lost some time (and perhaps money) to this book we don’t like. But isn’t it worse to sink more time into it instead of getting out now before we lose even more time?
Now, let’s say you read on average one book a week for every year of your life and you live to be 80. That’s 4,160 books you could read in your lifetime.
