I can't really relate to his sense of urgency or his short attention span when reading. It sounds like he has ADHD. That observation doesn't come from a bad place, I just find it weird and difficult to reconcile discussing the concept of efficiency when it comes to recreational reading and the way he describes his problems sounds like an attention deficit. It seems like a pretty good study technique though.

IMHO, I think quantity is not the be all and end all of what you should be aiming to achieve from recreational reading. Instead, appreciating the prose; the flow and the structure of the plot; the subtle arts of misdirection and intrigue is something which take a little more time. He may very well be absorbing these novels in their entirety, but again I find this difficult to reconcile, although definitely not impossible.

I'd say give it a try, lad, and let us know how you get on with it, as I'm interested in hearing about how the experience differs, because the video doesn't really cover that. I can't really advise you though, start small or start big. By the sounds of things you can get a lot of reading into a short space of time.

cool, i guess, but what's the point?

you could probably watch a film at 2x speed while reading a copy of the script. you might 'take in' details about the film at twice the speed, which is 'efficient'. but reading is about more than internalising information.

the only way i could think of using this is for uni-related reading. and, let's be honest, how many books you read in uni have a readily available audiobook..

(A good day to you Sir!)
