Speed reading

[username]

I find it rather difficult to get a satisfactory reading comprehension at reading speeds over 240 words per minute.

Some claim to be able to read at much higher speeds without loss of complete comprehension.

It is usually more important that I understand what is being read, so I read slowly and carefully. It might even need to be read over again. Poetry (including some heavy metal lyrics) I try to memorize and decode their essence, even rewording them if needs be.
