LoTR isn’t for me, so reading it slowly wouldn’t be an enjoyable experience. There are other books for me where I found myself reading and re-reading, moving through the book slowly, marveling at text wondering how the author managed to pick perfect word after perfect word.

For some books, faster is better. Neuromancer, for example, has a lot of sentences and paragraphs that if I go slowly, I can’t figure out what it is that Gibson is talking about. But if I go fast, I pick up the vibe and things start to make sense.
