On: Ask HN: Do you guys use speed reading techniques?

[fuzzmeister]

For books, I often use a very basic technique taught by my HS history teacher: - Read the first and last paragraphs of every chapter. - Read the first and last sentences of every paragraph.

This obviously doesn't work for novels or dense technical reading, but it is very effective otherwise.

This isn't technically speed reading, it's skimming.
