There are a few plugins for firefox and chrome that allow you to "speed read" web content. I used these while I was in school to down content but I don't really enjoy speed reading.

It isn't something one does for enjoyment. Oh, some people do, I'm sure, there are plenty of oddballs out there, but it is not an indicator of intelligence or ability, it's simply that they actually do not like to read and want to get through it quickly. I savor each word when I read. I seldom read faster than I could speak. I can read very quickly, but I prefer for ideas to digest a bit before I move onto the next one. |

Quote HistoryThanks. Looks most interesting. I've bought many books and have decided it high time to read them.

I've never been able to slow my reading down. I scan chunks of text and miss much of the nuance, I've always been that way. When the book is finished, I remember the gist of the story, but forget some of the details. I love reading nonetheless, but when I get a good book in my hand, it's a race to finish. I have always wished that I were one of those people that can quote from their favorite works, but my memory isn't that great. |

There is a free online course at www.readspeeder.com that has gotten pretty good reviews, but as a few others here have pointed out, speed reading for comprehension (and out of necessity) is different than speed reading for pleasure. I've never really enjoyed the books that I've hurried through. The content is the same, but something is lost when I don't take the time to process emotion while reading, especially with fiction.
