book skimming

Another confession. I've been doing a lot of reading since being out in California, I think my count is up to 14 novels! But the truth must be told. At the end of most books, maybe 73.4%, I speed read. Except it isn't exactly speed reading because I tend to skip words, sentences, sometimes even paragraphs at a time. This doesn't just happen to the longest books, no matter the length authors are only able to keep my attention until the last 1/10 of the book. I'm just finishing "The Beach House" and am hitting that crucial, climax part in the book where I start reading half the words :)
