you call it "reading" then?

A simple exercise:

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair."

If you cut it to: "Best times/worst times, age wisdom/foolishness, epoch belief/incredulity, season Light/Darkness, spring hope, winter despair."

... then you're not "reading", you're boasting

That's plastic reading. From the moment you take reading as a fast internet connection, you're lost imo

And then go boasting to your friends you read a 400 page book in an afternoon. Ludicrous, measuring wiener sizes and how fast one reads LMAO
