I have to agree with some posters - people have different types of brains. Some work very well with words. Mine doesn't and I read very slowly. on the other hand, I deal quite well with numbers, to the point that I remember them better than names, well I did before my memory started going, :>)

I tried taking speed reading classes & that seemed to marginally increase my speed until I realized that the latter material and testing was rigged, i.e. easier material to read and easier tests. Anyway I now read for pleasure almost entirely since I've retired so reading slowly on a good book just makes it last longer. However it does take longer to tell whether it's a good book.
