I've been stuck at 6 pages per hour for YEARS, it's fucking hell

i'm a subvocalizer, which i always thought was how everyone read but apparently not. i've tried to break the habit but reading without 'hearing' the words is very strange to me, and it feels like i'm not absorbing anything or even reading at all.

Cosign. I am relieved to hear from Wired, of all places, that there are no magic tricks I can use to increase my abysmally average reading speed besides just reading more and harder things.

I cannot visualise anything and I read too fast, so I dunno

Same. I used to think it was cool to read 2-3 books in a day and now I think it sucks.

I'm increasingly slow and it pains me - probably 40 pages an hour, but I genuinely can't remember the last time I had an unbroken hour of reading.
