Something that has intrigued me for a long time has been the idea of speed reading. It is alluring to think I could knock out a 300 page book in a few hours or be able to quickly cover massive amounts of news every day. I have read a few articles on the subject here and there, but have never really felt like speed reading was meant for comprehension. But working on this blog has made me realize that being able to process more information quicker would be advantageous, so I am looking for solutions to learn, and to see if speed reading really works.
I found a link to a free online pdf file written by Paul Edwards on non-fiction reading strategies on the Personal MBA website. The article suggests that reading a 300 page book in six to eight hours is doable by following the techniques outlined. I am going to attempt to use these techniques and see how they work. I’ll follow up in a few weeks and let everyone know how it goes.
