Which of the two would /lit/ pick:

1. An ability to absorb novels instantly. Drawback: you can no longer read normally and enjoy the process
2. Perfect comprehesion of any text. Drawback: your reading speed is halved

I miss it when years ago I hadn't gotten the "web itch" shall we call it. But I suppose it was inevitable because even in my professional life I can't get away from computers, and am a computer geek.

That's like asking someone who lives where cocaine naturally grows not to have a sniff every once and a while.

Perfect comprehension, ez. The reading speed is a small price to pay compared to understand Hegel.

Pushing to the wayside how godlike this would be for learning to be something like a neuroscientist, my biggest problem is I can read and reread something several times and not be able to actually digest the words shown to me until my retard brain decides to magically make it all "click" on the umpteenth rereading. This would be heaven, I have plenty of time.

Perfect comprehension, obviously, if I can't even understand texts I read instantly (and they can only be novels), what would be the point?
