A friend of mine was talking about how he was able to get his reading rate up to ~2000words/minute by doing exercises online. He says that he loses out on some comprehension but he’ll read a book multiple times if it’s worth it.

Have any of you played around with speed reading? Was it worth it? Any good resources?

Personally, I hate skimming. I tend to pick out pretty dense books and I don’t know how you could comprehend the words fast enough. It might be fun to play around with on “beach novels” though.
