I've said it earlier in this forum to other people who claim to read 500-1000 books or even more a year. I don't believe it, don't intend to change that opinion and I'm not willing to discuss it.

Reading is a skill, therefore some people can do it several times faster. There are certainly people that can read faster than I can.
People can run 400m several times faster than me, for one.
Do you disbelieve that? Or the fact there are people that can speak 12 more languages than you can?
My parents are both teachers. I was reading when I was 2. They read a lot, were good at it. So of course you can have genetic predisposition. Much like the child of a couple of professional athletes is likely to be good at stuff involving balls or running around.
So if you start early and practice a lot and teach yourself to read faster and comprehend more and do it a lot you can get better at it. Amazing concept, eh?
