Avoid Skimming
unless it is reading for a school assignment, examination or anything of a kind. As a reader you should avoid skimming through the book - why hurry so much?

You shouldn't miss out on any part of the book. When writers are writing the books, every detail is a brick building up to something of interest to the book; skipping some parts of the read might let you miss out something of great interest thus finding the book a fair read.

Any person out their who is on a read book journey of discovery , learning, exploring stories, culture & literature etc - they should refrain from such traits. the world of literature is universally diverse. there are no limitations to exploring as much stories, culture & writers etc as much as possible.
