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.

For instruction on reading (fast and well) I recommend How to Read a Book by Mortimer Adler.
