I cant but be certain that in a book forum some of the members must have experienced with speed reading.
My main reading intrests are academics like history, anthropology, psychology and pop science.

Have anyone tried it? Ive scored 253 wpm(words per minute) which is just above average, yet college stundents read at 600wpm, and i imagine the real big shots will score higher. This basically means that those people optimize thier reading time 100% better than i do, which is a big advantage if you ask me.
Question is - how does speed reading affect comprehension? Is this a really good way to boost my reading - or just glorified skimming?
Please answer.

My occupations involve coveying my ideas into lectures and written paragraphs. I stumbled upon Benjamin Franklins life story on how he became an accomplished writer and essayist by working on his prose and verse and i never heard these terms before.
My grammer is lacking. I dont know what are syllables are, and not what "metre" or "prose" or "verse" is. I tried reading about it, but i dont understand what makes a sentence "weak" and so forth.
Is there "writing" 101 out there that tells you what is prose and verse and syllables?
