Linusさん の Fast  Reading 能力にびっくりしました。

Another part obviously ends up being that I’m just a fast reader. Oh, I know people who read faster, but if it’s some easily read sci-fi or fantasy, I’ll read at a pace of 100-150 pages per hour, and you simply cannot distract me while I’m reading. Try to talk to me, and I won’t hear a word.

So most books I finish in a single sitting, and weekends I might read two books in a day. The more sciency books I read take longer, but that may explain why I probably average about three books per week, and sometimes do many more

１時間100-150ページ、週間３冊の速読！

速読の秘密は一体なんでしょうか？Linusさんがこう説明しています。

The secret to reading quickly is to read a lot, so that you just have practice. But it’s also important to not actually sound out the words. If you read by actually "hearing" the words in your brain, you’re not going to read a whole lot faster than somebody could speak. You want to get away from that trap, and end up seeing a whole line at a time – or at least large fractions of a line.

The other side of it is that the text really has to ‘flow’ well enough that you can fill in the gaps. I’m personally convinced that I anticipate most of the words, so a lot of the ability to read quickly is not that I can really read a whole line at a time, but that I can see a reasonable fraction, and the rest is "prediction", together with a weaker form of "reading" that is just enough to confirm your prediction.

まとめてみますと

• 練習（沢山読む）
• 集中
• まとめて読む。一つずつの言葉でなく、行全体の意味を読む。
• 内容を予想。重要な部分だけ読んで、他の部分は予想する。

明日の通勤電車で自分の読み速度を測ってみたい。
