When I was a kid, I read every comic book ever published. I quickly went through all of them in a couple of days, and then reread the good ones until the next issues arrived.
But as I got older, my eyeballs must have slowed down! I mean comic books started to pile up faster than my brother Russell. It wasn’t until much later did I realize it wasn’t my eye balls that were to blame. They’re still moving as well as ever. The problem is there’s too much to read these days and too little time to read every word of it.
Now, besides novels and newspapers, I read different kinds of books and magazines. There are hundreds of techniques you could learn to help you read faster. But I know of three that are especially good.
