Walter Bright:
Speed reading works fine when reading a bestseller novel. It's a complete failure at reading intellectually dense material.
But if the novel you have speed read was very good you have missed most of the enjoyment. It's like eating a very good traditional handmade ice cream: if you gulp it down in few seconds you miss most of the point of eating it :)
Better to read one good novel slowly and appreciate and understand it well, than quickly read three of them, and forget them in few weeks.
