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).

beautiful post. Expert say that if you use speed reading your level of concentration increases. I would say not! I am reading the divine comedy because I am Italian mother tongue. I just read one row ( 5 words) in 4 minutes (as far as i think) and I gradually gain (or I think to gain) the meaning of the poet.(the Poet for Italians), other times when I read books super easy(Stephen King, Follet) I apply fast reading and I have to say is really cool. Also I apply fast reading when I have to review a technical document, before a second more slow lecture. Last but not least I have to say that if i TRAINING the speed reading, also my comprehension increases.

All in all, a real reader, like a real fighter have to have different weapons, a dagger but also a knife, the pace have to depend by what you want/feel to achieve

Another really interesting phonomena is the fact that when we read we hear inside our mind our voice, and with speed reading this phenomenon reduce, but I would stop hear
I liked Inferno best and Paradiso was a bit boring.

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

The original poster may find this recent discussion to be of relevance.

We do it because these subjects are important.

Just like reading...
