I enjoy reading but am a pretty slow reader. I had also thought about trying speed reading and have used an app called Quick Reader on the Ipod Touch. It exercises your eyes and helps you to take in more words at a time. However there are times when I feel as if I am just trying to read faster for the sake of reading faster. I tend to lose the enjoyment of reading. Perhaps I am not yet trained in the techniques yet but when I read at a "comfortable" pace for me, I enjoy the book much more.
Perhaps I should not feel rushed to finish a book but rather just read it and enjoy. There are other aspects of life that can be too rushed. Reading is my time to relax
