Everyone's trying to read faster but is anyone else actually

I read books pretty slow, this results in a very vivid experience because i'm taking into account every single word instead of skimming over it to generally get what the book is getting at. Depends from book to book too I think. For philosophy books you might want to slow down more, and novels like harry potter you might want to read very fast(because you want to finish it asap cause its for idiots)

I feel like information technologies really mess with my reading

reading should be a mode of being, not consumption nor a search for information

I have found that books are mostly regurgitation of previous ideas.
If it's a boring part, I read quickly. Usually I focus and read it all because what's the sense in reading if we don't enjoy it enough to pay attention. Of course, most kids are ADD so they can't read more than 140 chars at a time.

I skip boring pages. You should only read interesting sentances.
