I know that feel. I try to add dramatic flair in my head when I read which makes no sense since I am my own audience.Link to the website?

How can I learn to read faster? My friend recommended reading erotica. It's helped somewhat but I'm sure there's a better way.The usual "read more" doesn't work. I'm an English major, and even after reading all that I'm still no faster.
>>7992279
You don't need to read faster. Reading isn't a dick measuring contest.
Does anyone really care about subvocalising?

If a person is reading for leisure what is wrong with sub-vocalizing?
>>7992291
It matters when it takes me about a week to read a 120 page novella and I need to read 3 of them per week for several classes.
>>7992253
Holy moly guacamole
>>7992302
You're not reading the whole time are you?
I read very slow when I'm reading for fun and I still get 25-40 pages done in an hour.
Just sit down for like 3 or 4 hours and you can get through them. How much time did you spend looking at your phone or looking online?
It isn't hard to find time if you really look at what is essential and what is not.
>>7992328
>40 pages in an hour
>very slow
I'm pretty happy with this
I can spend usually 5-6 hours and usually get 50 pages done. I try not doing more then 50 pages a day.
>>7992328
It's rough when I have to read all of that AND take lectures, write essays, and work in order to pay for it all.
>>7992402
How? Do you take meticulous notes and shit while you read?
>>7992242
kek
>>7992402
I really have to wonder how you do this. I consider myself a slow reader and I finish 100 pages in a good hour.
>>7992422
No, I just am slow, I don't usually do much else, when I was reading middle march i'd spend 7-8 hours a day and 50 pages.
I've read 7 books in the last 2 months so i think i'm doing okay but I'll admit my mind does wonder.
>>7992190
I play the characters out in my head as I read and imagine them as the text dictates their actions. Am I reading wrong?

Get the fuck out

I do that too. It's like tv
>>7992467
What. I don't understand. Is 100 pages an hour a good thing?! I thought I was slow and stupid. People on this board say they read Ulysses in two-three days.
>>7992237
How accurate is this ?
>>7992488
Is it hard to focus on reading in Hell?
>>7992190
everyone subvocalizes, all these speed-reading things are bullshit. no one reads without subvocalizing.
>>7992491
Well every other minute some asshole comes by and jabs me in the side with a pitchfork
Also they only let me read on a Kindle Fire.

Spotted the subvocalizer.
I deliberately subvocalize when reading poetry or philosophy. With most fiction you can "skim" over most of it and get the gist without really losing anything.
>>7992614
Really?
I do the opposite. I subvocalize when reading fiction but don't when reading non fiction philo or science books.
Oblivious poetry is a must for subvocalizing; I agree with you there.
466WPM I've improved by 150~in a year. Thanks advice frog. Is he still a meme?
>>7992728
Obliviously that is wrong. Poetry must be vocalized for best results.
>>7992454
I do it with fiction, but I don't sub vocalize for non fiction stuff, unless it's super prosey
>>7992501
I can avoid sub vocalizing but it's just so boring

stfu
i only did this once so it should be pretty honest
also im buzzed
Quite happy since english isn't my native language
>>7992253
Absolut blitzkrieg
>>7992297
There's nothing wrong with sub vocalising in any circumstances really, hating it is just a meme. In fact if you don't sub vocalise a play or a poem you will almost definitely miss out on cadence and meter.
Am i lit yet?
>295 wpm
Granted English is not my native language but still, I'm a college student and I read quite regularly.
Should I just give up?
anyone else /internalises everything at a glance/ here
>>7994292
Sounds like an awful, soulless way to read.
>>7992190
>tfw I take time with lit I enjoy instead of racing through it
>>7992475
You're an insufferable fag
>>7992297
Nothing, really. Speed-reading is a great skill for reading textbooks or anything that you need to get through, quickly, but part of what makes a lot of books enjoyable is the sound of the language, itself (especially if you're reading poetry). If you just want to hear the story, sub-vocalizing gets in the way, but most people, also, want to hear the author's voice, since a good author can make what would be an otherwise mundane story sound exciting.
not bad. two more revolutions and i'll be better than tony hawk.
900 wpm, I've found myself increasing in reading speed with every book (also don't subvocalize).
Took it three times, each time it was a different passage but my score greatly increased each time.
The thing is, it doesn't seem like it would be enjoyable to read like that. I'm gonna try it for a few chapters in the book i'm reading and see if I get anything out of it.
pretty easy t b h
>tfw you finally make the patrician upgrade from subvocalization to vocalization
>>7992190
>>7992201
>subvocalization
fuck of with this pseudoscience bullshit . there's literally no conclusive proof this bullshit exists and that people are even capable of doing it .
I scored 305 on this test. Though I typically read slower, and subvocalize a lot.
I don't think I have the verbal IQ to read much faster than 350 while retaining comprehension, understanding, and an appreciation of the text. I have no idea how some people can read so fast. Bloom says he can take in a whole page at once which I find almost unbelievable, but the guy has an incredible brain.
