Generally, skipping is a pretty bad habit because you might not fully understand the rest of the book. But I admit to having skipped large sections of Jane Smiley's "A Thousand Acres" and Hemingway's "For Whom The Bell Tolls." Sometimes, when you're not in the right mood, reading long descriptions of landscapes isn't very appealing.
Sometimes.
:banana: Hi,
I usually skip some pages with books. I choose what I wanna read from the table of content of the book.
But with literature epically novels, I skip boring :goof: :rage: descriptions ,and read dialogues, only when I read that novel for a class ,and the time is limited .For I believe that every single word is significant, and helps us to understand and get more of the novel .
Yours,
Rana
