You do read a book a day anon, right?

>> No.20953163

Yeah, I do it by reading book summaries. And I do that by putting my audio book summaries on 3x speed. I actually read 12 books a day. I'm pretty impressive.

>> No.20953522

Seriously what the fuck does this bullshit "read a book a day" even mean? It can't mean literally fucking read one book per day.

>> No.20953576

>>20953094
No way
Unless it’s your job to read 8h a day, you're either reading shit books or not really reading the books.
It’s just a metric crated by a midwit scammer to seem impressive to brainlets

First of all, what they mean with "books" literally is just self-help lit. They don't mean fiction, they don't mean philosophy, they don't mean poetry, they mean "how do i improoooove my life" books.
Then, what they mean with "reading" is
>look at the index
>flip through the whole book once
>read the first page of a chapter that interests you
>then skim through the rest of the chapter to see if there are interesting sub sections
>read if you want
>go to last page of chapter and read summary (many self-helf books have these)
That's it basically. When they say "read a book a day" they mean "get the useful information from a self-helf book in an efficient way".

'Skimming' a book is not the same as reading it. You might as well just read the amazon reviews and call it a day.

I'm sorry for you, anon. Not everyone is dyslexic. Well trained, high IQ people are capable of speed reading at up to 1000 wpm.

At that speed you could finish War and Peace in under 10 hours, or your average volume faster than it takes to watch a capeshit flick.

Most books require internal voice for full comprehnsion unless you're buffering the thinking and understanding until after you download the text into your head. Reading is more than decoding the symbols in front of you efficiently.

>could read 1000 pages in an hour

>> No.20954800

I mostly read fiction, I don't like speed reading, take many breaks, and I also tend to read longer books, so I've only been able to finish a few shorter books that quickly.

high-speed readers have shown reading comprehension levels similar to people who just learned how to read, IE 6-7 year olds. Everyone can learn to read fast, but grasping what you're reading is harder, especially for retards who think IQ is a good estimation for anything else than being good at IQ tests, which is a fluid intelligence.

IQ has a very highly positive correlation with mental swiftness, which is what is at play when it comes to reading fast. Beyond this, it is well known in psychometry that fast reaction times correlate positively with intelligence.
