But isn't being engrossed in a book and hence reading more often and a little more quickly different than "I need to read this x amount of words per minute no matter what" ? How can you really enjoy a book thinking about how many words you're reading? I've tried to increase my reading speed and in the process used a book I read previously. It was the worst reading experience. If I hadn't read the book previously, I wouldn't have known what the book was about because I was so focused on reading the words quickly instead of understanding and enjoying the book.
