Dang, I just read a writers opinion on Speed Reading and Speed Readers to the effect that they don't really take in much because they pick out pieces of sentences and interpolate the remaining information that they didn't really read OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I can't remember. Anyway, the basic criticism was that Speed Readers make for bad readers of Literary Literature because those books require a careful appreciation of every single word as every single word is part of the art.
Might have been S. T. Joshi, but I don't remember.
Anyway, interesting article. I think people should forgo speed reading for careful reading as well.
