Reading fast might sound like the same thing as speed reading. And in one sense it is. In the other sense, it’s essentially the opposite. (Isn’t the English language fun?) That’s because this kind of reading fast is a refrain from reading—fast is a noun, not a verb.
Why would someone take a break from reading? Should you ever stop reading, even for a little while? That all depends on the reader, but there are plenty of good reasons why even the most devout bibliophiles should consider taking the occasional break from literature.
If you’re addicted to reading, taking a break from your obsession might be healthy for your social life and physical wellbeing. It might be hard at first, but it can also help you to create a more sustainable love of reading moving forward.
