Getting the gist of a story isn't quite the same as actually reading that story.

I think that's a little unfair. There are some books that I can easily read within the span of a day with the same level of comprehension that I have of a book that takes me a few days or a week to read. And I do enjoy it - I enjoy spending a few hours a day in a completely different world. I'm just as immersed as I would be if I took longer over it. I've always been a very quick reader - it's my natural speed. And of course it depends on the book. I understand that you couldn't enjoy that process, but it's unfair to suggest that people just "claim" to be able to read books at that speed and to enjoy them.
