I was wondering how people read their books. I mean do you read books from beginning to end ? or just a couple chapters then on to the next book ? or any other way ?

I wonder because I am a thorough reader. When I decide to start a book I read every word of it until the end. But I also happen to be a somewhat slow reader. on a bad day I may not read more than 10 pages, 40 on a good day, when I have time and I don't feel tired. To read more I'd have to read all day almost non stop and while I may have read 60 or 80 pages in a day, such days are the exception for me.

So when I hear that some people read one or two full books a week and keep that average throughout the year, I am amazed. But when I hear of some people reading several books a day, I have a hard time believing that. Unless those readers just fly through the pages without really reading every line or skipping chapters or just beginning a book, not liking it and ditching it.

So what kind of reader are you ?
