Skimming

[ralphmelton]

I've been reading Lord of the Rings at bedtime lately. I've noticed that I have a tendency to skip over bits as I read--sometimes even whole paragraphs. I usually notice and try to go back and read the section I skipped, but it's easy to skip bits sometimes.

A few nights ago, then, I had a dream in which I was reading an erotic story. As things were getting particularly good, my eyes skipped down to the end--and then when I tried to go back to read the part I had skipped, I couldn't. I may have missed the best part. :)
