Reading fast

Okay, so I was sitting on the train reading and this woman next to me is reading a page in like 15 seconds or something. I read very slowy and haven't read many books in my life but would like to improve. Is this something that just comes with time? Or do you have to not be born a faggot?

there are speed reading courses that are very effective

the basic theory (tried and true, no-bullshit for reals, yo) is that when you read a book, you (if you are moderately literate) recognize words as indivisible units so you don't read C-A-T as three letters, but recognize the shape of the letters together to be "cat"

through speed reading you learn to recognize longer strings of characters as single units and instantly understand them

eventually you get to see entire lines of text as a single unit, allowing your reading to be very fast

there are a few people who SUPPOSEDLY can read entire pages in this fashion, but i've never met one
