Yep, that's my view too.
I don't consider I've read a book unless I've perused every single word (although I've skimmed the odd book or two in my time, I don't regard myself as having 'read' them).
I even read every tedious word of the cetacean lectures in 'Moby Dick'; and the equally boring descriptions of undersea life in Verne's '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'! What a slog they were
