There is nothing wrong with skipping or skimming, it’s just that I can’t do it as I feel I will miss something important in the plot. When younger I wondered how people could read so quickly. I thought that I must be such a slow reader. It didn’t make me read any differently though. Sometimes I might not be enjoying a book, but as I have invested the time and feel the need to see it through. I feel I should respect the author and 99 times out of 100 I end up getting something out of the book.
