It's cool how whenever you get to an exciting or fast paced part in a book your reading speed automatically quickens to match it and when you get to a slow part with a lot of discription you read slower to sort of soak everything in, amirite?

I do too, but it depends on what its describing. If w'ere describing a table i skip. If it's like how someone looks or someone dying or something then i'll read on.

Yeah, as I said, just unimportant stuff. If they're describing a new character that'll be important later on, it's definitely important to actually read and understand it. If the author's going to have some 2-page description of some castle that the characters will stay in for another 10 pages, I get bored and skip to the part that actually has meaning.
