I read them, but I was not into any of them.
I did not finish any of them
We read this year?
5. How often do you consult Cliff Notes, or Spark Notes?
Never - I do not enjoy reading interpretations of literature.
Never - I have not felt the need to do so, but would if I had to.
Sometimes - but only if I need extra information or clarification.
Occasionally - if I run out of time before something is due.
That is still reading, which I hate.
Often - I find that with that, and skimming, I can fake it.

I look up reviews first, and then decide.
