How to read fast

November 20 by | 7 comments | Lifehack | Tags: ,

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.

    Hey , I’m 11, and I’m an extremely fast reader. However, I get slow and bored , when reading a book that doesn’t intrigue me, I repel and it really gives me a hard time – Especially when it comes to school, you know when the teacher assigns you to read a book, that you , rather have to read in order to pass a test that may or may not be given  in surprise. Further more, I just feel like assailing the book! It drives me nuts to have to read a rather boring book. Although I enjoy reading, I cant stand to have to read an UN-intresting book. ( :
