I've always been a fast reader, merely because I like to read and I am always reading. I can't imagine taking a week to read a single book, unless it's highly information-intensive and a zillion pages. But I've always viewed speed reading courses with abhorrence. I want to enjoy what I read, to appreciate a good turn of phrase, to pick up a clue, to take pleasure in the nuances. I don't want the meat without the potatoes.
