Reading speed

After 1.5 years of college and 19 years of living experience of which I spent 5 years able to read sentences and paragraphs, I conclude there are only two speeds that people should read at.

1. Very Slowly
Reading so slowly (and out loud for comfort) that by the end of reading an incredibly difficult question, I figure out exactly how to do every step to solve it. Slowly is actually quick because you increase speed naturally while maintaining comprehension.


2. As quickly as you can:
For noticing particular things I want to think through. This can be at least over 10 times over the speed of slowness.

For reading the bloody newspapers. These days, most newspapers are generally full of blood-soaked news. I set the emotion behind and pick out the details very quickly.

Also things like facebook and slashdot comment sections. I find it sad that people can stare at their facebook walls for so long.

Other speeds are pretty much unnecessary and unworthy in the digital age.
