Do you skip pages when reading non-fiction?

>> No.16901937

>>16901924
Yesh, if I've covered it before and the overlap doesn't help. I skip a lot of the end pages if it's just bs.

>> No.16901951

Sure, I'll skim it if it's not worth the time.

Skimming is a jewish trick. There's always something important in those paragraphs.

Yes. I do this also when reading fiction. If something bores me, I skip it.

Not sure why I'd skip pages on something as short as an essay.

>> No.16902382

Who the fuck skips over the parts they don't like unless they've already read the text? Do you fast forward through movie scenes or music choruses or enable noclip in games, too? Holy fuck, you guys are retarded.

An essay can be as long as an entire book, it doesn't matter if you call your ridiculous class papers "essays".

Anglo this, anglo that. It's all so fucking tiresome. Get an identity outside of your pointless and largely imagined "heritage"

Geometry is foundational to wizardry anon. Not saying you made the wrong choice, just that it may be worth it to revisit
