When I was in grad school the university sponsored a free speed reading course (the same one the former US President John Kennedy was said to have taken.)
For it to work you simply turn your brain off and allow a raw data feed of the main words on the page to go into your head. Analysis and understanding are delayed until later (if ever.)
There was no joy reading this way for me. For business school cases it was also a disaster. I remember I read a 40 page case about Citibank and thought it had something to do with check processing and money. All but one in my group went back to their old reading ways after the course. The one that stayed with it flunked out after the first term.
