With non-narrative books or anthologies I only read the bits I'm interested in.

I am able to recompile part of the descriptions and fight scenes, but never vividly.
I read on or DNF the book. On rereads less usually than not I get stuck on a chapter. It happened with LoTR and HPotter book 4. The latter I have chalked as a lost cause and have moved on.
