As I said, I enjoy reading. I spent 4 years of my life getting an English degree, and it shows ;-). I can easily enjoy a book that I learn nothing from, if the writer shows a mastery of the English language. I think speed reading techniques treat the writer's style/voice as irrelevant, and that's my specific objection.
Agreed. As I mentioned above, I can read pretty quickly, but if you find yourself speed-reading, say, PG Wodehouse, then it's just possible you may be missing out :)
