Let's say you stopped reading a certain book for whatever reason, do you start over? Read a summary of it online? Start where you left off from? There's a few books I've been reading and I'm not sure if I should start over or just read a summary of it online.

If violence wasn't your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.

Restart where I left off if I can easily refresh my memory of the parts I've already read, AND it's not one of those books where it pays to know all the little details for max enjoyment, e.g. detective stories.

Read again from the very beginning otherwise.

Regarding whether I can refresh my memory or not, a good way to find out is to not use any bookmarks whatsoever. If I can't find my way back to where I originally was without help, then obviously I'm not familiar enough with the contents and must start over.

BTW, I never read summaries online unless I'm absolutely sure I don't want to spend time reading the actual book for whatever reason.

Do you do this with books that are long and you're, say, halfway through the book?

I read the previous chapter. If it comes back I continue if it doesn't I start over.

Again it depends on how much i remember for example i read a chineese novel series wiht over 2000+ chapters i stopped around chapter 500.

now in this case i would probably start over IF THE DAMN THING WASNT ALREADY OVER 2000+ chapters.

But if you'r halfway through and have a good enough memory of where you left off then i would just continue from there.
