first part of my reply was in response to the first bit of the post (talking about skipping whole chapters). the second bit was giving my personal tendencies of skipping. I am a rampant DNFer (I have a huge tbr and not enough time to read everything) so I find myself only fully reading books where I trust the author to make any scene worth it even if they prove me wrong. I have considered many things, but I only find myself skipping or skimming when I already know I won't miss anything
