Reminder that the average person reads almost nothing that requires attention, and speeding through meaningless YA fiction and buzzfeed articles means very little.

Do you COMPREHEND what you read? That's what's important.

I read extremely fast (even in English, which is not my native tongue), but I'm often too lazy to read anything.

So you may end up reading more words than me, even though you're ten times slower.

There's nothing wrong with reading slower if it helps you absorb the information. The point is to understand the text. It's not a race.

Fuck off. If I can't read fast and retain everything after reading for years I might as well kill myself.
