About This Quote
While reading is generally a solitary activity, the idea of skimming the pages as a way to avoid someone or something is quite popular. It’s a very common habit and it’s also very dangerous. In fact, it’s a form of self-destruction as it can lead to reading comprehension problems. For example, when people skim, they miss out on key parts of the text that are vital to understanding. Skimming is also a form of dishonesty because it hides important parts of the text from the reader.
