I can read 1000 pages in ten hours already. I just realized within the last few months that most people read one word at a time. I look at a few sentences, like a picture, process, and go to the next few.


Reading one word at a time would take forever. I don't repeat single words in my head like that.

I forgot that this is the OT for a minute. Cue the OT elite that can read 2500 wpm without even breaking a sweat.

Again, the key is to just "see" them, not pronounce them. Once you can do that you've got it. It takes some practice.

I suppose if you need to read something quickly, it would be a good thing. But if reading for leisure, I'm not sure I would enjoy using that. I'm a professional writer, and I always enjoy the words, passages, and construction of paragraphs and chapters.

I'm gonna shove my Cisco manuals in that bitch and tell the engineers to get with it.
