Does speed-reading work? How fast do you read?

depends on the book, sir.

Speed reading is literally skimming. It's used just to find the most imporant info in a text. A lot of speed reading guides I've read tell you to outright skip entire passages if they look "unimportant" enough. This is surely useful if you're reading the news or a technical manual, but you're an idiot if you do this with literature and pretend you've fully understood the book.

For instance, I read this post before you even created it...so, one could say I read pretty quick.

if im reading some serious prose like nabokov maybe a page in 3 joyce a page in 5 you get my drift
