… Slow reading is more efficient than speed reading, by Sean D’Souza.
I have always been a slow reader. It is very useful if you review books. At least I seem to remember more — and I can hear the writing.
I am less sure about this: Slow writing: “It’s all right here, in my noodle. The rest is just scribbling. Scribbling and bibbling.”
I do most my writing in my head, then I sit at the computer and write down. Even when I write by hand — which I do when I'm away from the computer — I'm only writing down what I've already composed in my head.

Well, I know Sarah. She used to review for me. She's as sharp as they come, and if anybody could get away with speed-reading, it's Sarah
