Speed Reading: Learn to Read a 200+ Page Book in 1 Hour
by Kam Knight
A great book that shares some practical guides on how to read faster. It helps that the book is short too and has practice drills sections, where one can revisit should they want to hone in on specific techniques in the future (which I have done and foresee doing a lot of times after this).
Don't expect immediate results though, these things take time for one to master..a point which the author highlighted a few times in the book. I have applied the recommended techniques and whilst the chunking method didn't really work for me, the space reading one did.
Initially thought the peripheral vision technique wouldn't be a practical one for me since I had missed out a lot of the text when I did the practice drills, but I somehow managed to make out the texts on number of pages in my last two reads just by running my eyes through the an imaginary vertical line at the centre of the page, without feeling the need to reread the pages after.
Not quite there yet, but here's to hoping that I will be able to read 200 pages in an hour soon!
