Speed Reading

My classmate, Rob Jefferies, sent this out...

 I had a few inquiries last weekend on what tools I have used to increase my reading speed.  The following are two books that I would recommend. I have used the first book personally and a close friend of mine has used the second one.  If you were to spend 20-30 minutes every other day during our summer break you could possibly double your reading speed.  I've seen about a doubling in my speed.   Speed reading really helps in lighter reading like IT, ethics, and marketing texts but it will not be huge help in Finance etc.  I can't recommend doing this enough it has really helped me out.
