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
I agree with pretty much all of that. I just don't relish being "the slow kid" when it comes to my reading friends.
