I remember when “speed reading” was a required course. I was in middle school, and the teacher couldn’t believe that on the first timed reading I read almost 1100 words. (all my family were avid readers, and I learned to read by the line rather than word by word, with a 80% retention)
The was a parody of “Jonathan LIvingston Seagull” called “Baron von Wolfgang Buzzard”. His quest was higher reading speed. While reading at the mach-neural limit of human comprehension, he encounted a semicolon and was knocked unconscious. :)
I was once tested at 1200 wpm with 80% comprehension. Books are my most expensive vice. :)

It’s not the speed that’s the problem, it’s the cornering. He cornered.

He’s going way too fast for me. I was always a slow learner. They even had a sign at the street in front of my house ‘’Slow Children Playing’’.

Don’t try speed reading braille. The friction is murder on your fingertips, and it might set the paper on fire.
