I read quickly, but that’s how I read. Always have. I was that asshole kid in class reading 2 chapters ahead while Melissa was stumbling over the word ‘ledge’.

I remember the gist of what I’ve read, but couldn’t generally give specific details unless I read it a few times. I don’t care though, because im reading to enjoy the book in the moment; im not writing about what I’ve read.

I understand most of the words, but I have a pretty large vocabulary. If I don’t know a word I look it up (both kindle and my phone have the tap and define feature).

The one thing I don’t do is overthink what im doing. Just read. If you enjoy it and want to read slow, great. If you want to give every character their own voice, great. It actually sounds like you might enjoy audiobooks more. Give it a try, if you hate it, go back. There isn’t a wrong way to read.
