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

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've read some books like 7 times i know the plot almost by heart already and i'm considering reading them once agoin

moi read HP IV in 3 hours

But I got rid of this problem as soon as I started reading Tolkien Now Im SO slow ... I maybe remember all details now, but I preferred reading faster

I think Pratchett is the right way to go back to the old speed though

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]
