Not trying to brag, was listed at one time as the fourth fastest
There was a speed reading camp years ago in upper Wisconsin. They had many of the top readers. I was ranked in the top ten, but was nothing compared to the top "speed reader". I was there to see her read a 15 page time magazine set up as every page was put onto a display that was set up to display everything, then a shield came over to block it. 15 pages next to each other. There was a "start" and she said " stop" before the unit dropped. 90+ % comprehension. Awesome.
To this day I get upset if I can't read a novel every day. In 2nd grade I was reading 8th grade level, and upset that the then mechanical displays were slow.
My wife was so happy when the origional rocketbook came out because every time I went for a business trip, she was sent UPS boxes of used books I bought at book stores. The rocketbook was slow for me, but got much better. I spent much $$$ for the color soft book/RCA 1200 later on.
Truly not bragging, this is a curse. I only keep and store cookbooks. My wife and kid are nowhere close to my reading ability. My son really is upset when I read a book he has been assigned in an hour and question him.
