I'm a pitifully slow reader, I like to stop often and think about new concepts or insights so I can internalize them better. This way of reading is my biggest obstacle in finishing books. I've tried speeding reading and while I can finish chapters faster, I retain much less information like ~40% of concepts.
Any tips for readers like me? Thank you for the wonderful list, I'd like to get through it in this decade if possible :(

- sivers 9y agoI read slowly too! I think it's an advantage. The real learning comes when you reflect upon what you've learned. This great book - "How to Read a Book" - https://sivers.org/book/HowToReadABook https://sivers.org/book/HowToReadABook - has a great methodlogy for reading books deeply.
