I read until the book ends or I lose the motivation to finished reading it. That can happen on any page.

If I didn't I'd go insane. All of my fiction books come from one of three small town libraries in my area and it appears to be hard to find the the little nugget of gold amidst the rocks.
So, how about you? Do you read til the bitter end or stop once the enjoyment factor is gone?
Usually if a book hasn't grabbed me by 50 pages, I'll flip to the middle and read a chapter to see if it's just a slow starter. If I'm grabbed in the middle, I'll go back and slog through the opening. Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix was like that for me. It didn't really grab me until about page 120, but then it really took off.
