I don't 'speed read' (well, I do speed read technical manuals and reference material, but not when I'm reading novels). I do read quickly though. The biggest trick I found was not to hear the words in your head as you read them. Many people 'subvocalize' what they're reading, which slows them down a lot. Just let yourself read faster than you could read out loud. Hope that helps. The last one was on January 3rd so I read those 7 books in about 5 weeks.

Are you a speed reader or do you have some trick? I struggle to find time for that many books in a year, but want to consume more book-information!! Do you read that many books in a month?
