Why aren't you Wikipediamaxxing yet, /lit/?

I am able to optimize my reading technique by subvocalizing only when absolutely necessary and skipping over the parts of the text that seem to be superfluous or uninteresting at a cursory glance. I only read non-fiction; I use Wikipedia and other online resources to extract requisite info about fiction books. In this way, I'm able to absorb as much information without wasting too much time reading. My current spped rate is 1330WPM, with an info retention of cca. 40% (the other 60% is literary input that I forget soon after; I'm in the process of honing my skill of skipping over parts of the text that I suspect I'll forget quickly after reading). This way, I'm able to read more productively and efficiently than most people I know.
