I always skim books before I buy them, it's less about errors for me and more the prose. If I don't like an authors writing style I'm not going to be able to get through it for 100's of pages.

I do the same to fic too, I read the first paragraph or so because I'll be able to tell if I'll like it and if I'm not feeling it I close the tab and move on. It's certainly judgemental to some degree as I'm deeming a fic 'not worth my time' but it's a private one that I don't foist on the writer, if I was making a comment about how I skipped over theirs every time I did that would be different and assholish, but quietly walking away isn't.

I feel so goddamn dumb right now. Why did I not think of skimming the first page or so to get a feel for the style? I have noped out of so many books and gotten gun-shy about even finding them at the library let alone buying any because of how many I just. could not vibe with.

this is not sarcasm anon, honestly I did not consider this obvious idea and I'm kicking myself for how obvious it is. thank you for saying something.

Amazon will show you a preview of the first few pages. Real timesaver if you’re making a list of new releases for the library.
