There are exceptions: when I'm emotionally not stable enough to read certain harrowing parts coming up, I can put books aside for quite a long time. I did that with Winter Prince and with the last Inda book by sartorias which I still haven't finished. I still haven't finished Joshua Palmatier's first novel because of the child abuse the heroine has to suffer for half the book. I peeked ahead and know she'll get out of that situations, but still.
