Don't want to.
Moreover, quite often I go to TOC and check how many pages are left until the end of the chapter, either to understand how soon the event is going to resolve or should I stop right now and go to sleep or should I proceed another 10-15 minutes and finish the chapter etc.
I never read books with less than 300 pages, but usually no less than 400+. Don't like short stories.
It is an important part of reading experience for me. I am not saying it is a good or bad trait of me, however, it is part of the enjoyment and I don't see any reason why should I force myself to give up on it. It is my hobby and I like it as it is.
