Reader's Reverie

[Tokzic]

Though I don't know exact values, I have three reading speeds: One is skimming, which I use when I'm reading something without putting much heart into it or just to get the basic idea. Then I have absorption, which is fully taking in any ideas that are being offered but still doing it as fast as I can. Then, what I use for fiction, is a much slower speed that I use to sort of "savour" the work - I fully envision any imagery, I take time to think about what could be coming or whatever else, and I reread a lot.
