When I read too quickly I tend to remember content, but I often find myself not enjoying the act of reading itself as much as Imwould like to.Elaine Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248422399226824168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10680113.post-91284896369974569992014-03-11T16:28:29.371-05:002014-03-11T16:28:29.371-05:00Interesting thoughts about reading silently, but t...Interesting thoughts about reading silently, but they're not borne out by my personal experience. I've always been a very fast reader, and I do not hear the words in my head when I read unless I stop and make a deliberate effort to do so—it's so much slower than my "regular" reading speed. I make that effort when reading poetry or a couple of especially blessed authors.
