Heh, following up on seekingferret's comment, I finished exactly ONE of the books on last year's ballot! I didn't even start two of them, because why even start something I know I won't like.
I probably do force myself to read a lot more of the ballot (especially the shorter works which are a smaller time commitment) as "homework" when they're things I am not crazy about, but part of that is because I really like ranting about analyzing things that I don't like and why I don't like them :) and discussing them with other people who are reading them -- who often do like it, and we can talk about why our reactions were different (and occasionally, someone even gets me to change my mind -- the Cannibal story this year I like a lot more than when I first read it). But seriously, if that's not fun for you then don't do it!
