Now I don't even recall what the techniques were. I read for pleasure and I don't dawdle but I don't rush either. Rushing, getting through it as fast as possible should be reserved for sex.

Thanks for your input, I tried some of the tips I read online but always end up re-reading again wasting my time. I have a long reading list and sometimes I just wondered if reading faster would be more beneficial. I've read a couple of books which was a let down in the end and made me reflect how much time I spent reading those books. That sex thing got me. my wife asked what was I laughing at and I said I just got a sagely advise. she ain't happy
