As a Borders bookseller during the aughts, I often heard customers make this confession: "I hate the book (or books) I am currently reading. But because I started this read, I feel I must plod on until I finish."
I have heard friends comment quietly that "My marriage is a mess. But I have put the best years of my life into it, and I'm going to see it through." In professional situations, people say, "I get a great salary and spent years in competitive higher education preparing for it. I hate my job but don't know how to escape it. What else would I do?"
