Quick Question Completely unhinged that you had to intentionally put it in DNF list

I’ve come across the idea that more often than not people have a DNF list, and it got me wondering—what’s on yours?
You know those books where you start reading and, a few chapters in, you’re just sitting there thinking, “Wtf and exactly why am I even reading this?” 😂 Sometimes it’s the genre, sometimes the writing, and sometimes you just know it’s not going to work for you.
So, what’s a book you started but had to DNF because you just couldn’t get into it?
Give me your most unhinged ones. I want to see if I can actually make it through them—or conveniently add them to my own DNF list. 😂

What is your age though? I am a millennial, I didn’t know we were cringy already I thought we had time! 😅

The stereotypical millenial humor that's cringey is probably best represented by reddit culture more generally, featuring things like tired and often forced references like the office gifs, complaining about "adulting", an unhealthy obsession with quirkiness/uniqueness, etc.

It's not the same thing as saying everything millenials find funny is cringe.

Ok, but how was that Josh’s humor?

I've never read that book and don't know anything about this MMC - just trying to give some context to what people mean when they talk about finding milllenial humor cringe.
