When I was in college, my reading speed for everything slowed way down because of all the technical stuff that had to be absorbed. I found I did the same thing with novels and it annoyed me. So about 6 months after college, I did a speed reading practice thing (AOL - while it was still all Mac) and sped up to roughly where I was in high school. I continued to read at that pace until I started losing my vision. Now I'm very slow and do most novels via audiobook or text-to-speech instead. I do still read, but mostly just short books (under 300 pages) and literary magazines (Asimov's).

As to the OP, my reading speed varies by book.

Why do we discuss God over and over again?
Why do we discuss our children over and over again? Why do we discuss our health over and over again? Why do we discuss money over and over again? Why do we discuss politics over and over again? We do it because these subjects are important. Just like reading... |
