Hah, I always thought that sub-vocalization barrier was interesting. I noticed, sometimes, when I was tired this feeling that I could hear all of the words I was reading, and simultaneously that my reading speed had ground to a halt.

It was very frustrating, and generally indicative that I needed to call it a night.

Cool information, Ryan! Thanks for the nicely summed up delivery.

Kudos to the ever-surprising BG folks for all their hard work.

Hey, with ereaders and the like you can program a scroll speed, I think.

Great post Ryan, and I really think I’m due for another ‘quickening’ with my reading. I think I’ll try hand motion reading (or make myself one of those ‘windows’ that only show a certain amount of text) and practice when I get the time.

Thanks, Ryan. Great post. I’m curious how the long, smooth underline works with e-readers. Wouldn’t it get rather smudgy?

Very interesting post, as all of these posts have been. I guess I should learn speed reading, mainly because I’d get a lot out of being able to read lots political histories…
