I do all of these, which one I use seems to motly depend on the quality of the book 🤔

@NickEast_IndieWriter @reading @bookstodon @books @joinin Also depends on the book type. I read a cookbook differently than a reference book or a philosophical work. It even makes a difference if it is literature or a science fiction novel.
So depending on the book I'm one of the six described readers.
@MeneerDeBruin I often do several of these in the course of reading any book, I think

@NickEast_IndieWriter @reading @bookstodon @books @joinin It is only in perusing did I come to understand that peruse is a contranym, and I had been only familiar with one of its meanings! Curious if others experienced this…
@MsDK12 Yes! And glad you wrote this. I came away with "wow, I've always had the wrong idea about 'peruse', thinking of it as something you do in a leisurely way'". And then a bunch of runaway musing on how I absorb a sense of words' meanings that may not always be right. Not to say that never happens, but happy to not add to that pile.

#Bookwyrm #Bookworm #Bookstodon #BookLove@NickEast_IndieWriter They didn't include PACE - which is where I have to get up and stomp around, muttering to myself, because I am so ANGRY about what I have read.
