Is that 2-3 fiction books per week? Where do you find time to read 2-3 books per week? Do you speed read?

Speed reading doesn't really exist; it's just skimming. Even the fastest reader in the world will admit they lose details and don't enjoy it as much. You might be interested in checking this video out.

I commute to work on the train (~ 40 minutes each way) and spend a lot of time reading after work or on the weekends. I don't think I speed read, but not sure what the threshold is for that.
