Reading Books

I love to read. The only problem is that I have a hard time finding time to read, it usually is required to wait until after the kids go to bed and early in the morning. On top of that, I am a slow reader, I don't think Im too stupid, but for whatever reason I just don't read very fast. This makes getting through my books super slow going.

I do know of some tricks that I don't usually use in my reading, but using your finger to follow along under the words helps you to read faster for whatever reason. Also just paying attention to what you are reading helps a lot, but duh.

I am afraid of learning how to do speed reading. I have talked to people about both sides of the equation. My wife says that she can turn it off and read a novel and savor the flavor text. Where as another lady said that she learned how to speed read and that it ruined her ability to read for the enjoyment of it. Thats what I am afraid of happening.

The plan for my future involves just trying to learn how to read faster by simply doing it and practicing by doing it. My biggest obstacle to overcome is to find enough time to read. I guess I need to put that at a higher priority than learning how to read faster, because it doesn't matter how fast you can read, if you simply don't have enough time to read anyway.

What will the future hold for my reading??? Let's hope a lot of it.
