See that's where it really shows that we're all different

I've never subvocalised and I'm a fast reader, but not a speed reader as such (as in I've never tried to find ways to read faster; I don't skim-read or anything like that).

I read mostly fiction, where I much prefer what's classified as the "literary" type to plot-driven which generally speaking tends to just bore me incredibly quickly. I also read fiction faster than non-fiction.
