It's interesting to see an alternative to all the speed reading craziness. Being dyslexic, I have always been a slow reader. I often have a dictionary, pen, and paper with me (as this author suggested). I have noticed that I never forget what I read though - perhaps it is because of this methodical approach to reading. I also love audio books, which allow me to re-play a passage over and over until I feel like I really understand it. If it's something complex I'll listen to the audio book while reading along. I did this with the Bible and The Bhagavad Gita for example. I never knew there was a concept, “slow reading”. It’s interesting to see an alternative to all the speed reading craziness.
