Maybe I should re-read the books and see if I still like them a lot. A good thread if it make you want to read a book...
I didn't start out skimming. I resorted to it after my eyes crossed from boredom. Then I would try to concentrate again and so on. I even asked the guy who rec'd it to me if I had the right book.

OTOH, I do love Calvin and Hobbes. Some great and wonderful work there.
