How to read fast

Roman Rytov introduces his new method of book reading, by combining reading through in detail and skim through. Inspired by Brad Feld’s record of 8 books per week, he suggests the following steps:

  • Build expectations for the book
  • Always read the book’s introductions (all of them).
  • Understand the book pattern
  • Take a sample and check the pace
  • A book may vary – re-adjust the pace

I wouldn’t think this method will work for fiction, but it definitely works for business/study materials type.
