I read really slowly too. I read at a really fast talking pace. Like it’s still possible to read out loud but would be impossible to keep up. I noticed how slow I was while I was in school and had to read 6 novels a term and it took an ungodly amount of time outside of class. People say reading more makes you faster, but I think they’re full of shit because I was an English major and read a metric shit ton during and after schooling. If I actively try to read faster my speeds improve but it gets exhausting and I find it way less enjoyable. The problem is, I also find reading a 600 page book in 30 hours or something really unenjoyable too. Like, I want to read faster, but my comprehension drops and I lose the writer’s voice.
