Am I the only person who's noticed this?
When I'm perusing posts or electronic articles, I'm prone to scanning through them to try and pick out the pertinant information, rather than chewing through it all thoroughly. With the net result being that I sometimes miss very important things because they get stopped by the unconscious filter as not being relevant to the specific topic in my mind
I've noticed that I've started doing the same thing while reading books too.... scanning through and spotting things that match my mental image of the scene, right up until I crash into something and wonder where it came from, how it got there... or when we changed locations. And then I go back to check and find it was mentioned a few paragraphs - or even a page ago and I have to jump back and start again.
It's becoming annoying.
