Well I don't read particularly slowly,lol but if the characters and storyline are absorbing then I'm definitely thinking about everything going on...I'm also hoping as I write that my readers do the same thing...so when I'm throwing out foreshadowing I'm hoping that someone is picking up on it. I also like the term 'intuitive' reader...readers who can create and understand the settings/characters without reams and reams of narrative. Once again it's how I read and because of that I assume that others read the same way so it's the way I write...for example if I describe a reception in the formal living room of an ambassador's home and there is a black marble fireplace at one end of the room, an "intuitive" reader should be able to picture the entire scene including the people there and how the room is decorated without me having to give them details.
