/lit/ - Literature

Trying to read more, after two weeks of reading, it seems I read at a speed of 104 wpm. Will I get faster? I have a tendency to fail in seeing the forest for the trees, so perhaps this is keeping me down. Or should i just not care? I'm enjoying my reading speed so far.

What are /lit/'s experiences with reading speed? Would appreciate knowing.

I started trying to read again thanks to lurking on /lit/, and I'm in the process of developing a habit of reading daily. Something I noticed is that I often find myself "stuck" whenever I read a long description of some environment/physical location, especially when I don't recognize the words too well. I only have a vague, intuitive idea of what the environment looks like, and when I try and focus and piece it together, it doesn't make sense (why would this side-walk be here if the park is facing this way, why did we climb into someone's yard if we're coming from the beach, etc. etc.)

Has /lit/ ever had issues with this? Do you just read through it and not worry about it too much? Is it just an issue of unfamiliarity with vocabulary and physical environments? And finally, how do I improve? Also, any general remarks about visualizing would be useful, sometimes I pause when reading when I can't quite visualize a character, so I have some generic image as a result

Thanks in advance
