Do you also find that this happens with different types of fiction, or are they all basically the same?
Personally, if I'm reading someone like Toni Morrison or Marquez, I find that I like to slow down and savor what's going on. It's like ready poetry. If it's something I can read fast, I tend to find it's not something I'm drawn to spending the time with.
- Agingcoder 2y agoI’m the same - I slow down dramatically with technical topics unless I’m very comfortable with the material. There’s no pleasure in speed reading through literature. It’s like a gourmet meal - you don’t enjoy the food if you wolf it down in 10 minutes.
