Pete & I were discussing, among other things, reading this morning. So, a poll:

[Poll #330828]

I need a 'reading' icon.

I'm fairly sure I have two styles of reading, where "vocalising" either happens or doesn't. The vocalising approach happens when the prose style's complex or difficult, or when it's particularly rich and I want to get full enjoyment out of it. The non-vocalising approach I use for assimilating simple factual stuff or reading a book primarily for the story rather than the style, and it's considerably quicker.

The choice between the two would appear to be unconscious, and I'm fairly sure I slip from one to the other as I'm reading. (Is that more information than you needed yet?)
