For WoT: It's not that I despise the Wondergirls as some others do, but sometimes during a reread I just don't feel like reading a few hundred pages of circus politics and listening to the girls bicker because their periods synced up.

Ahhh, holy crap, the White Tower must become a freaking nightmare once a month.

Well, whatever the reason, sometimes I skip over those parts.

For Pratchett, whom I adore, his very early stuff like Color of Magic is extremely episodic, to the point where I can just open the book at random and get a full story.

And mostly I just hate reading Tolkein's songs.

In rereading a book have you ever stopped or skipped a section you just couldn't stand? dacole - 05/09/2011 06:03:26 AM 1195 Views

Generally I will skim when non-fiction authors take obnoxious poetic turns. Panorphaeon - 09/09/2011 05:52:55 AM 997 Views
