Sometimes when I'm reading, I get myself reading automaticaly. This happens in certain books more than in others. I'am _reading_ but I'm not _assimilating_ what is writen, and then I have to read it all over again.

## So why this happens?

**I'm not talking specifically about getting distracted** , or some other stuff like that. It would be an obvious answer. **A good answer for this question would be** some that explains how a text may throw the reader into an automatic reading and how to avoid this.

Like I said above, I feel that some books do this more than others, and I suspect other people had the same issue.
