It was recently brought to my attention that most people don’t. I find that…literally impossible to believe.

So, do you have an inner monologue? Do you talk to yourself? Do you get lost for hours in your imagination? Just spend time thinking? When you read, is there a voice that reads the things or do you just…see the words or something.

    The voice when you read is bad for you. Its called subvocalization and sets the limit to your reading speed. Try to get rid of it and absorve the meaning of the words as if they were logograms.

      Reading faster isn't always better. Some of the fastest readers I've met only absorbed what they read on a blue curtains level.

        I agree. And there are many things you shouldnt read too fast or for very long like some textbooks. But subvocalization would stll be a bad habit for regular reading.
