As a kid/teen, I read a lot - and I mean a *lot*; for example I got through nearly 1 book from the Sword of Truth series *per day*. I built a contraption to let me read while showering; I read in the car, by the moonlight, I snuck books under the glass dining table at dinner. 1/

have you tried it with the same books (or same sorts of books) you read as a child? I suspect that those fantasy series were easier to skim, but this method doesn't work for more complicated material

I think you're right.

I love reading as well. I found out Kindle keeps track of the number of books you read, but it only counts them once. :( My most in one year was 417. Love sci-fi books. In school, I "ruined" the read a book, get a personal pizza from pizza hut program by reading too much. :(

Have you seen that gif that blasts words at you at a high rate of speed? It's made to show that when you don't have to move your eyes you can read very fast Sword of truth is pretty nostalgic now. I remember the books breaking down into rape and communism by the end hah

i doubt this; as a teen I read almost entirely fantasy books, and I think I learned 'how to read fantasy' in a sense; now I read a much broader variety of things which is harder to predict.

Half off-T: When I was young I could remember a series of numbers and characters 12-15 long. Remembering half as how they sound saying them, and last half as an image. The image function dropped after ~25. Now it’s just a blur :(

I think those of us who did this ended up psychologically different than those who didn’t. It’s a slow-burn psychedelic imprinting

I experienced a similar phenomena and can relate to what Aella's describing. I agree with your take. Can you expand on it?

Speed reading apps exist? How did you find out about them?
