    I’m mostly being facetious, I love to read, but I tend to read a lot of nonfiction shit like Chomsky or Stephen Kinzer. I’m not worried that I’m dumb, I am a little shook about the idea of finishing a book in 2 hours though honestly.

      Ime most people who report to read very fast tend to absord less information. They also seem to spend less time picking apart the details and mulling them over. For me a big part of reading isn’t really reading but thinking in-between moments of reading
