I'm a fast reader. My husband is a slow reader. We both get there. I know I can read more books, but I don't think he has any less pleasure reading his one to my 5.
I agree there are so many books out there to read. But I find it becomes obsessive reading all of them. Sometimes I would like to slow down & just read 1 book a week. I wonder what that would be like? I find it hard to slow my reading down.
As for learning to read faster, I took a speed reading class in high school over 40 years ago. My husband took one in college. It didn't help because as it turns out he has dyslexia.
Plus I have found I read fiction a whole lot faster than non fiction. So many of the fiction plots are the same that you don't always need to read every word. I tend to read sentences then. But if I want to learn something, I either slow it down or read it twice.
