[sassanik]

I am one of the fastest readers that I know. I also notice that when I do not read every day my reading speed does slow down.

I also read by word recognition, which I believe lends itself to reading faster. I am not as good at very detailed reading, instructions I have to read a number of times and reference as I am following. Book plots I manage much better!

I think its something of a learned skill, but also some natural ability comes into it. I have friends that can recognize a song by only a few bars of music, I have trouble remembering a band name or a song name even after being told a dozen times.
