“Great speed in reading is a dubious achievement; it is of value only if what you have to read is not worth reading. A better formula is this: Every book should be read no more slowly than it deserves, and no more quickly than you can read it with satisfaction and comprehension.”
― Mortimer J. Adler, How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading
