Ted Gioia, My Lifetime Reading Plan:
IT’S OKAY TO READ SLOWLY
I tell myself that, because I am not a fast reader.
By his accounts, Gioia is a prolific and thorough reader. And yet, a self-proclaimed non-speed-reader.
You don’t have to read super-fast if you’re always reading whatever is right for you at the moment. Doubly so if you’re deeply/actively reading, searching for understanding or assimilating ideas into your own mental arena.
Once more for the slow readers, like myself, in the back: it’s fine, just keep reading!
