I FINALLY finished reading The Bitcoin Standard. I’m not a reader as you can probably tell, but it’s a habit I’m trying to better. I go through stages where I read consistently for a few months, finish a book, and then fall off the wagon again. I’m also a slow reader and I’m trying to improve my reading speed without sacrificing understanding. Because I’m a slow reader I never reread books because I feel like it could be time better spent reading one of my many unread books.
I’d like to get to a point where I can read many books within a year, not one every three years. I know the ultimate answer is consistency but do you guy have any advice or tips on how to improve your reading speed and comprehension?

Until 6 months ago I was also the same. In my life I had read a couple of novels by Isabel Allende... and one or another book if I don't remember, they were required subjects in Spanish class... but since I've been learning Cryptoeconomics marketing and everything That's it... the person who is not teaching gives us mandatory daily reading homework... at the moment I have 2 books at the same time, the first is Cryptoeconomics and the second is BTC for the poor, a very common book but its information is good!! Start by reading 2 pages at a time or 3 minutes... little by little you will achieve it!!

I have only read a few books as well. I’m a slow reader, but I like to really understand and picture what I am reading. I’m an avid reader online though. Lol. I probably spend close to 25% of each day reading. But I would really like to learn how to be dedicated to reading books. If I read 5% of the books I bought, that would be an amazing accomplishment for me.

Congrats! Not much of a book reader either. Prefer videos and podcasts.

Congrats! Trying to improve reading speed without sacrificing understanding is a struggle for me as well. It’s also the reason why I don’t reread. I have re-listened to books though, that's doable. 😄

I'm the same. Not much of a reader. I listen to a lot of podcasts, though. I suppose everyone is different.
