Yeah! My mom and I are both speed readers (like I finished War and Peace in three days) and people always ask if I actually read the book or just skimmed through it. I did read it, I just read really fast.

This is probably an evil opinion, but I don't mind spoilers...I actually like them so much I beg for them from the people that recommended the book to me, especially if it's a series and I get scared for the characters. When I read LOTR at seven, I begged my older cousin to tell me if Gandalf came back or not. My anxiety for him was just too bad, lol.

I'm a teenager, and it's a odd mix of the two for me. Sometimes, I can't hear when I read, and sometimes I can. It really depends on how good the book if for me,

I don't just ask for people to tell me the entire plot of a book, but if I get anxious about the characters, I want to know what happened to them.
