Minor annoyances

bluegargantuaUsually, I'm pretty good at remembering books that I've read. I may not remember all the details of the plot, but I can usually look at a book and think "huh, I've read that".
Right now, I'm reading a book that I know I've wanted to read for a little while now and there are certain scenes that I remember quite clearly as I'm reading them. So I'm pretty sure that if I didn't finish this book, I almost certainly started.
Now I'm trapped in a conundrum. Do I continue to read the book? If I didn't actually finish it the first time, does that mean it's going to suck somewhere? Am I just wasting my time re-reading it? There's plenty I don't remember, but if the ending gets jogged from my memory about 20 pages before the end that'll be annoying. It's a stumper. :/
