When reading do you read every word? Do you ever skip chapters or skim over parts? (question curtesy of Wendy)
Well, I have to admit I sometimes skip words, but never chapters, and I don't read the last pages first. Why the words? That's easy, sometimes I have the attention span of a goldfish. I can't concentrate on every single word, but the action doesn't escape me. And then, some authors use incredibly wordy sentences for things that couple be explained with a simple SVO-sentence (subject, verb, object). What's up with the page-long sentences anyway?
I just skim those sentences/parts to know what's going on. But usually, if I find myself skimming more than a few sentences I either am too tired to read, or my attention span doesn't even match the one of a goldfish - or I drop the book sooner rather than later!
