The point on perseverance is especially true for literature, which often doesn't try to constantly keep us on the edge of our seats. But working through a difficult literary book can be extremely rewarding!

Agreed. It takes a different type of perseverance than sticking with a difficult non fiction book. But so rewarding if you stick with it

Yes, there is a difference between reading fiction and non-fiction. I am steeling my spine to commence The Brothers Karamazov. For me that takes courage.
