It's funny, but some of the most popular books recommended by gurus: Money Master the Game, 4 Hour Work Week, Principles - even Blue Ocean Strategy - bored the sh*t out of me!
Some of the books by smaller, less well-known figures have been fantastic - probably the writers are putting their heart and soul into them. Unscripted , TMF and Alex Becker's book "pillars of wealth" were some of the best books I ever read.
It's hard to say when you should stop reading a book. Usually if I'm still bored by the 2nd chapter, there's not really much point to carry on as I'll end up going back reading the same paragraph again and again until I absorb it, taking me twice as long and putting me to sleep.
There are so many books out there that frame the same points in different ways. I would say it's not always the content of the book that's bad, but often the writing style and the relevancy of the content to the issues you're struggling with.
