I am a slow reader. I use to read very fast, but somehow my speed as deteriorated to 1/2 to 1/4 its former level.
I took this test and read 309wpm. Average is 200.
I took it again, reading words in groups like I used to do (I think) and got 709wpm. I'm not sure how much I actually retained though.
Anyone want to teach me how to read faster? This is really not good. I read 83 pages of LOTR last night in over 2 hours . I used to read 1 page per minute, but that was after the deterioration began! I think the slowdown is caused by chatting on AIM and IRC, where small blurbs of text are read.
