My reading rate has increased over the past few years, just by making a point of reading fiction again and reading a little bit before bed.

Something that has also helped me pick up the pace is that my mom and I are reading the same box set of The Wheel of Time, so I have to finish each book before she gets to read it.

I tried to practice speed reading when I was younger, and it sort of worked, but it sucked all the joy out of reading.
