I read every word. If I find my mind wandering I will go back and re-read it. I do not skim pages at all. If I find a story moving slow I just stop and take a break and read something else till I am ready to pick it up again.
I have been known to lay a novel down and finish it six months later. I do have few DNF books but I try to finish the ones I think are worth reading.

I love books where I read every word, but...
Some books just creep me out in places. I like the author and the hero or anti-hero and story but I don't want to read details about torture or unpleasant sex, or crimes against children etc.
A fairly innocuous example is Tim Dorsey's Serge Storms. I like Serge Storms but he does some pretty unpleasant stuff.
And then there are the times when it is late at night and just have to know the ending. Usually I return to where I left off, but not always.
