read faster

Since I was young, I’ve loved to read anything I could get my hands on, and my vocabulary continues to grow every year thanks to my English classes at school and freetime spent reading. Yet, I don’t know why it takes me days to read some books that most people finish within a few hours. Perhaps it is an attention-span issue, yet I have no problem getting absorbed in a story for hours on end. I often reread books and other things to better comprehend the meanings and themes of the story. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and even went to the midnight party for the sixth book release; my friends finished the book that very night whereas I slowly moved through it in my free time over the next week. I think if I read more quickly I might have more time to do other things or read even more books.
