It's been awhile since I have heard someone mention 'speed reading'. The mere thought of trying to ingest words and thoughts whilst wondering how much time has elapsed, as if qualifying for an Olympic event, is numbing.
For me, it's about 'glance reading'. This may sound sacrilege given this audience, but I rarely finish a book! I'm often stupefied by meandering preface's and long winded introductions, when I haven't even started the first chapter yet!
I read at my own pace, skim for the best nuggets, make a note if needed, and all with no clock ticking.
