Hmmm... that would only work if you stopped adding to your TBR pile. At least with ebooks, you no longer need to worry about being found crushed under a toppled mountain of books.

While my reading speed is not quite in the speed reading range, it's always been the way I read as far back as I can recall. I have unfond memories of taking a reading test in school and being forced to retake the test twice before the proctors would admit that I was reading that fast and that I had excellent comprehension of what I read. I mean, how the <expletive deleted> can you cheat on a reading speed and comprehension test? Sheesh, they hand you a sheet of paper, you read it, hand it back and answer the questions on the next sheet of paper they hand you. Perhaps I had located a source for the tests and memorized all 20 different variants?
