Speed Reading: Learn to Read a 200+ Page Book in 1 Hour

This was a quick read. I sped through it...
The author discussed several techniques on how to improve your reading speed and comprehension.
Some of those recommendations were stating the obvious, but in general it can be useful.

I can imagine it can help to get you through piles of study books and other material, as a fairly large part of the book is not so much about the speed reading itself as well about studying techniques and memortization.

True I was able to “read” this book in under 2 hrs. But that's because it was extremely wordy. The techniques work great on a book like this where if you miss something you're not really missing anything. That said I highly appreciated the reminder to read faster and not get bogged down in the sentence-by-sentence level of the book and remain cognizant of WHY I'm actually reading this thing in the first place; because there's something I want to know, which may be slightly different from what the author is trying to teach me, hence the usefulness of speed reading.
