Slow Reading: the antithesis of speed reading
The only reasonable approach is to adjust your reading speed based on the topic you&#x27;re reading. Is it interesting or relevant? Read slower. Is it dense and complex? Read slower.<p>Are you just scanning or reading for hobby&#x2F;light interest, maybe hoping to encounter something interesting? Read a bit faster and slow down when needed.<p>I find that there are so many weird misconceptions about &quot;how you are supposed to read a book&quot;. Just read however you like, reading comprehension and regulating your speed based on the content is a skill, something you might want to practice. But you definitely don&#x27;t have to speed-read or slow-read everything once you&#x27;ve learned how to do that.
