It might be because I don't ever skim-i find skimming is pointless even if I could read faster that way. I can read a chapter in my history book once and get 100% on the test. You fellows skim or do what I would consider skimming. I am not claiming genius status. If I skimmed or just 'read' as fast as 300 pgs a day I would understand but I would not enjoy and would probably forget eventually. If I want to find a definite good book I look for a book by a definite author. I don't read to simply get to the end sometimes i read slowly to savor the story. Rereading does not mean your stupid-I said that, but I still think it is foolish. Read it right the first time and only reread it if you don't understand, not understanding if you read it properly does not mean your stupid either it simply means you chose a book too hard, which I also think is foolish.
Another thing, library vs owning. I like owning books but I usually only read them once. The library I like reading books many people have read before but i cannot look at it anytime and claim ownership.
Maybe I shuold have put this in debates.
How do you know if you're not missing anything if you don't reread the books?
