Does Anybody Else Read Too Fast?
I think I read TOO fast. By the time i can enjoy a book, I'm done with it. and if I have a lot of free time (like now, during summer vacation, but before my job starts), I read about a book a day. And since I'm too lazy to go to teh library I just read the same books over and over.
I do that too only for me the main problem isn't finishing books too fast since I don't mind that, it's just that a lot of the time I'm so engrossed in the book and I'm reading it so fast that I don't realize I'm not fully comprehending what the book is saying...
I read incredibly fast...as in I read all 870 pages of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in one night (about 6 hours total)...but of course because I read so fast I tend to miss little details and always end up rereading books because of that...and because I like them
Well, there is good and bad things about reading fast... I think that reading fast could be a good thing, depending on your age, you would fly through your school books, but it's a bad thing like you said that you fly through personal readers. But good for you... I read fast, I finished The Da Vinci Code in 3 nights, thats from like 9pm-1am every night. I started it on Tuesday, Wednesday, skipped Thursday, and finished it on Friday. An easy reader, but a good book!
If I enjoy a book, I frequently finish it in less than a day. Whereas books that I don't enjoy linger on for months. Not the best system in the world.

Oooh yes the ruin of all fast reading probably the books I read slowest in all my life since I learned reading... I read a lot faster when I was 6 years old than now in the HoME
But of course it also takes ages because I write down all the details and facts [just to realize later that I cant read them anymore anyways]
