I don't have any set rules for it. Sometimes, I can tell by the end of the first chapter that it's not for me. One time, I got about 90% of the way through a book and just didn't care enough to finish it.
It's not always about writing quality, either. I'm not so elitist that I won't read pulp. Sometimes, it helps to know what's bad so I can be better at writing (though it does make me wonder how some of that crap gets published).
