question of the week
Do you skim?Be honest. When you pick up a book to read, do you flip to the last page to see if there's going to be a happy ending, or maybe to see if the heroine ends up with the right guy? While you're reading, do you flip ahead just a bit to see what happens next?
I'm a skimmer. There, I've admitted it. In fact, I'd probably have to say I'm a compulsive skimmer. No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to stop myself from flipping ahead just a bit to see what happens later in the story. And believe me, there have been times when I've wanted to kick myself for ruining an element of the book that otherwise would have come as a real surprise.
The only time I really do try to curb this tendency is while reading romantic suspense. It only took one time of discovering who the killer was way too soon to teach me to be more careful with that type of book. I won't say I never skim a romantic suspense, I'm just more careful about it. :-D
Currently watching The Bourne Supremacy
Currently reading Countdown by Iris Johansen (& so far, not skimming!)
