I read from left to right (the books I prefer don't make much sense the othre way around). I never skip anything (unless it's school stuff of some sort
), then I'd rather stop reading that book. I tend to read parts over again because I for some reason think I missed something (which is about never the case). And yeah, I have a picture in my head of what the chars look like, and they got voices... if it's a good book I'll be thinking of'em when not reading as well.
