I refer to myself as a fractal reader. I never start with the first page and never make it to the last. I open a book randomly and let my eye fall on something of interest. I may read for five minutes. I may read for five hours. I might pick it up again tomorrow. I might not touch it again for years (currently I'm "reading" an obscure tome on symbolism in 13th century French religious art that I know I haven't touched for decades). This obviously works better with non-fiction but, unburdened with plot and emotional investment, fiction can be interesting too...
