Re: What kind of reader are you?
The one time I wrote in the margins of a book (that wasn't a textbook) was when I hated it so much I needed to rant.

I don't make notes. My mother drilled it into me in my impressionable younger years that you should never mark up books, and that has stuck through all these years.
I will definitely reread parts if I don't quite "get" them the first time, or if I find the writing particularly striking.

What kind of reader am I? I'm a slow reader. I like to understand the context and words. I do have to re-read paragraphs and pages even sometimes. I have to go back and re-read because I get too involved with the meaning of the words that my mind wanders and I have to redirect my attention again. For me I can't read fast and fully comprehend what I read after. I do skim read magazines or articles though, think I got into this habit because of waiting rooms honestly. I do not write in the margins! That is on the verge of blasphemy for me! Even in my college books I couldn't bring myself to write or highlight in the books. It is one of those things I just can't bring myself to do.JimRed wrote: ↑11 Mar 2010, 22:23 I was interested what kind of reader everyone is here.
Are you a skimmer?
Do you read a paragraph and then go back and read it over again to see if you can get more out of it?
Do you write in the margins what you read?
Are you a little bit of everything?
I'm the type of person who reads each word carefully and if I don't understand something, I go back and read it again. I skim very rarely, usually only during VERY slow parts in a book.
