    I think it's going to be one of those "practice makes perfect" sorts of things. There might be tips and articles on the internet, but nothing builds up reading speed quite as much as actually reading stuff.

    Don't get disappointed. The more you read, the faster it will work. My wife used to read pretty slowly when we got married. She now plows through books like it's her day job.

      Thanks, I'm hopefully getting some new books soon, so I'll definitely be able to practice with them. I was just curious if there were any tricks.

        If you're in the States, I highly recommend getting a library card. You can check out lots of material for free. There's a million 'top ten' lists for different genre's out there. There's a good chance that the library will have a good fraction of those to check out.

        Best of luck, man. It will get better. Promise.
