Read every word, except for two cases:
1) I have yet to read chunks of The Lord Of The Rings, those pages of songs and lumps of Tom Bombadil will forever remain a mystery to me, I'm afraid, even though I have 'read' the books dozens of times.
2) Perdido Street Station is of the few books I can't get much beyond the the early chapters, never mind finish. I have bounced off it so many times I'm afraid to try just one more time, even by skim-reading.
