I read fast enough to be a serious danger to my paycheck. Given that I never sell my (or give away) my books, it costs me extra to store them, too.

I generally read a novel after I go to bed each night

Technical stuff is faster because I'm not taking the time to watch a movie inside my skull - no special effects or imagining of characters... though some Cisco manuals have made me wonder if I can resurrect Torquemada...
