What book are you reading right now?
Currently, I’m reading There There by Tommy Orange. I don’t know why it’s taking me so long to read this book. I should have been done with it ages ago.
Other books in the queue:
For one of my previous jobs, I proofread hundreds and hundreds of documents a month. I trained myself to speed read and absorb information faster. My reading speed was 489 words per minute and my comprehension was 100%. Sometimes, I literally felt like Neo when he had information downloaded into his brain. “I know Kung Fu.”
This doesn’t translate well when it comes to reading books leisurely because I want to feel every emotion written. I want to have a sophisticated understanding of all the minute details that are on the page. In those instances, I read at a sloth pace…slower than molasses.
