It's shocking how much we have in common. I am incredibly slow reader as well when it comes to reading for enjoyment. I think my problem is that I refuse to ever skim anything. I read every word like it is the most important detail in the world. I do much better listening to audio books that I can speed up. I have heard very good things about this book and I get the basic premise of it. It seems like a much more healthy way to live. But it is easier said than done. But all I can do is try to be better today than I was yesterday.
Yes, I am the same way. My wife, my sister, and my dad are all very fast readers, but I know they skip over words like 'and' and 'the', so it always makes me wonder just how much they are actually absorbing or comprehending. I always tease them about it. It was a good book. I think the idea is pretty interesting and the examples she used were good. You are right though, it's much harder to put into practice than people probably think.
