Scott Young at Think Simple Now points out, “Speed reading is about controlling your reading rate, not just going faster.” Young shares the lessons he learned that helped him to increase his reading rate and consume over 70 books in a year.

“Speed reading requires active reading. That means, instead of just assuming the information will jump out at you, you become an inquisitive, seeking animal. Before you start reading, prime your mind by asking what you’re hoping to get out of your reading session. Even if you aren’t 100% sure of what you’ll learn, this priming exercise allows your brain to notice relevant details more quickly.”

Now that you’re going to become a voracious reader, perhaps you would like to begin with novels: mystery, romance, or Sci-Fi and Fantasy.
