I don't mean "in a hurry" as in reading fast or slow. I meant... in a hurry and not willing to wait for a story or character to develop in a book. I'm not saying that this applies to you or anyone in particular.
I think this is why many readers here dislike most of the "best sellers" because they are written (many times) without multiple threads or story development. They also seem to be written so it is easy to make a movie out of them.
Things come at us so fast these days that we expect it, even in our literature. I thought Mysterious Island was very good... I enjoyed reading about all the ways they made stuff and the though processes of naming places on the island too. I didn't think it was slow or boring at all.
