Do you want to read books faster?

Context

Do you want to read books faster?

Then, why don't you look at the book summaries to get a clearer and simpler summary of the book itself; it may sound like counter-intuitive and yet it can save a lot of your time, energy, and space of your mind.

Also, if you wanted to go for the binge-reading or cover many books then there are even more suggestions that I have practiced and it worked out very well, such as:

  1. Audiobooks so that you would not miss the stories in that book if there are any
  2. Video books with animations to fulfill the exact context and stories
  3. Another bonus suggestions from the above #2, video books by best presenters or storytellers
  4. Get to know about the book author and get his core viewpoint and the key takeaways from their interviews or audio/video scripts etc - this would help you to do more research on that subject and what the author is throwing to the readers
  5. If you are an avid reader, then as I said earlier hop on online book summaries 
By the way, the above suggestions are based on what sort of a learning person you are! 

Some like physical books, some like to hear others, some wanted to view and visualize with their eyes and learn, some like to discuss and/or do a role play and then learn the subject, etc. So, it all depends on your preference of which type of learning person you are, and how you wanted to learn something...
