Yesterday at 05:35 PM1 day I had problems reading when very young....Right up until my screaming grandfather did an altered States/Incredible-Hulk mixture and banged his way up the hallway threatening to rip me to pieces if I wasn't reading faster before he reached me....After that, I became a speed reader, which was a problem, as I found I now finished most books in an hour or so, and it wasn't worth all of my weekly allowance money for that short of a distraction.So.... I began actively looking for the thickest books I could find, so I could spend a little more time with them; while my classmates regularly had me read aloud to them to demonstrate how fast I could go.I actually got in trouble in school, because when the teacher asked me to read in turn after others in class, I was often completely lost, and it was years before they realized that what was actually happening was that I had gotten bored and skipped far ahead and had no idea where the class was.Ancient (and mostly forgotten) history.Then I bumped into this, and tried it as a random lark.Interestingly (to me) I easily got to the end at supposedly 900 WPM, but not without experiencing a strange feeling of mild breathlessness...I wonder where that places me in the average nowadays, amongst my fellow adults.
