I am a voracious reader and always have been. As a kid I was the one in the summer reading program who was 3 or 4 times ahead of the next highest kid in number of books read. By 4th grade I was testing at the "post-collegiate" level in reading comprehension. I never speed read, have never tried to speed read and do not even understand why one would want to. Reading books about how to speed read seems to me to be like reading books on how to swim. Just start reading stuff you are interested in. Period. So my thoughts? myth vs reality? I say pointless.
