Sometimes I envy other members here who seem to fly through the books but I learned to accept that this is not me. I become too superficial if I increase my reading speed. And at the moment I'm glad if I can steal one hour each day for reading. I want to enjoy this time, not make it a competition. |
I read quite slowly as well - as long as I'm enjoying the book, I don't mind at all. I do hear the dialogue, when reading fiction, in different voices. It does slow a person down, but for me, it just means I'm completely immersed in the book.
The OP did not say what he was reading on, but I wonder if it was a multifunction device - which many people have reported as distracting. I found reading on my iPad unsatisfying. - I find it hard to settle down and concentrate, with email and all kinds of distractions. I slowed me down, but more importantly, prevented me from getting into the book. That never happens on my kindle - it becomes a portal to the other world.
