Speed Reading: Learn to Read a 200+ Page Book in 1 Hour
by Kam Knight
This was an interesting read. I don't remember where I read it, but the only "speed reading" tip I knew was to read the first and last sentence of each paragraph. As I have way too many books on my TBR, I thought this might give me some great tips.
This book breaks down the different types of texts that you may be reading, and whether or not speed reading will work for it - for example, textbooks vs pleasure reading. As 99% of my reading is for pleasure, speed reading would not work. I still read on to see what was said.
Each chapter breaks down a different method to help you speed read. It gives you practice tips and examples of text to understand how to do it. While it was not easy for me to catch on to, as with anything in life it will be easier with the more practice that I do.
