I recently rediscovered the public library. When I'm at the library, I don't feel pressure to find a good book. Instead, I pick books based on their cover, plot description, and accolades. If I decide I don't like a book after 30 minutes of reading at home, I can quit reading without feeling guilt for having purchased the book with my own money. When I find myself interested in a book, however, I am suddenly motivated to finish reading it because I have a set deadline within which I must return it to the library. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that reading a book borrowed from the library simultaneously frees me from commitment and commits me to rapid reading.
