It's hardly ever that I skip chapters or skim parts. If the book is really boring and I have to force myself to read it, then yes. Usually when this happens, I'm contemplating putting it down, so I usually jump ahead to see if anything is going to happen. If so, then I'll go back and read the parts I skipped or skimmed. Having said that, I do read every word. When I read, I try to relax and enjoy what I'm reading and really allow myself to become immersed in the book.

When reading do you read every word? Do you ever skip chapters or skim over parts?

If I am skimming too much, I know its time to put the book down.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nise'. When my attention starts to wander, I take a break. If that doesn't help, then perhaps it is time to consider finding something better to read.
