I saw something about this somewhere - after the pandemic people stopped reading things that don’t grab them. I think we all have a sense of urgency about living life now and on some fundamental level we don’t want to waste time. I love your LFL idea!

I certainly feel this. I used to be resolutely completionist about finishing any book I started, even if I wasn't enjoying it. I am no longer that way. Life is too short and there are too many other books out there.
For me it’s less about not wanting to waste time, and more that there are just SO many mental distractions that it takes an extra special book to suck me in. The world is on fire, it feels, and if the book isn’t especially gripping then my mind easily wanders to my worldly concerns.
