when you say goal setting I understand you to mean the goal I set prior to starting on a book.
Well, you see that is where my "skimming" comparison comes in. When I read a book in it's entirerity I'm expecting to get information I didn't know I would get. Does that make sense? Otherwise I would just use the index/table of contents and just go right to my material.
You've been very kind. Thank you for taking time to respond to my postings.
