How do you read?

Mostly fiction. How exactly do you read it? Do you carefully take in each and every word, or do you read lightly so that you take in the most important ones? Do you read one word at a time, or do you read in chunks of several words? Do you subvocalize (say the words in your head)? If you're not sure whether or not you fully understood that last sentence, do you go back and read it over again, or do you just continue? Do you read popular fiction and literary fiction differently?

Let the discussion commence!
