I am reading "the Creature from Jeklye Island" right now. It is just so dense, and hard to digest. It's an absolutely fascinating book, one that makes me feel like I didn't know anything before I read it. But, it cannot be read quickly. I read a lot of non-fiction and depending on how important it is to me, the slower I read it. Occasionally I will challenge myself with something dense, or blow through articles / fun novels like candy. It really depends on the material.

I only manage to catch the general outline in most books I read. This is why I have found audiobooks to be helpful. It forces me to slow down and digest the prose between the nuggets.
