It's used for getting faster and not for actually reading stuff. I did a similar thing for the last two-thirds of <em>Ship of Gold</em>, but I did that one at 800 WPM. That way I could understand it all. And about 3 times faster than when I started.<br/><br/>BTW - If the numbers don't seem to work out it's b/c I had two starting speeds. One's for easy books (360WPM) and the other's for somewhat harder books like <em>SoG</em> (240WPM) I’m not sure if you were picking up what I was putting down.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!!?!? Seriously, there is no point in reading a book if all you get is a few character names and general plot points. This is like putting a huge dinner into a piece of gum. You know what happens when you do that. YOU TURN INTO A GIGANTIC BLUEBERRY. Actually, you probably wouldn't have gotten that out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory because you READ TOO DAMN FAST. Let that be a lesson to you.<br/>-mollicus Dude. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!!?!? Seriously, there is no point in reading a book if all you get is a few character names and general plot points.
