The way I read is really weird. I don't acknowledge the words unless something really different just happened. My brain takes them and then I see the place and setting the characters are at, sort of like a dream.
It takes me several minutes of reading to get to this stage, and I find it highly annoying to get pulled out of it.
That doesn't seem odd to me. I read in a trance. I read everything in the same trance-like state and sometimes it seems like my particular trance is only a parallel to the text. I do stop and re-read word-by-word if something seems really swell or cool or amazing or puzzling or confusing or interesting or idiotic.
I used to read Tom Clancy non-fiction books just for the pure shocks of pure idiocy they contained. One fun thing about trance-reading is you get a different trance with each reading so you can re-read good books over and over if you feel like avoiding the shock of idiocy for a bit.
Another odd thing about trance reading is that fiction and non-fiction don't seem all that different since both are experienced in the trance state.
I'm never in a trance on the internet. Here's a trance-breaking bit of idiocy (this a from a BBC radio series Deep Trouble which features a Tom Clancy character):
++++ In an increasingly uncertain defence environment, a deadly new arms race has begun. In an attempt to secure her boundaries, Britain has deployed the very latest sub-sea military technology++++
++++ Beneath and beyond the front line, these are the adventures of the HMS Goliath. A 55,000 tonne M-Class nuclear stealth submarine, prowling 5,000 metres below the surface++++
++++ Manned by idiots++++
