Not being alone doesn't mean you're not weird
But weird is good, in my opinion.

I've never really been good at explaining it, more or less the center of the page, it has to be in focus, but I'm not focusing on any words but the entire page, does that make sense?

It does actually. Sort of like using your side vision, but more dominantly than usual. But if everything comes at you at the same time, doesn't that spoil exciting parts of books, where at the top of the page something scary is happening but the bottom of the page explains it or something... you'd never get the excitement of being scared because you already know it'll all be alright at the bottom of the page?

I think a bit for both, but definitely for the "absorption" method (sounds like I should be able to put the book under my pillow doesn't it?)

Mm. (Naah, sounds like you're superman
)
I think I'll keep trying the "regular" speed reading then. I just realised (talking about thrillers) that when I'm really eager to know what'll happen next in a book, I do suddenly pick up speed and find myself losing the inner voice... So apparently I
can do it, I just need to figure out how I do it so I can "switch it on."
