I'll skim if I'm bored with it and just want to look for 'nuggets'. Like gold panning, however, there are usually none to be found.
I abandon books when I have an allergic reaction to the writing, or it I am just unprepared to appreciate or understand it.
It also depends on timing and my state of mind. I may very much want to read the book, but when I try, I can't seem to take it in. Just have to try again some other time.
