1. That is why reading is the king. You just reread. If you do not reread, you do not have a story.

2. Definitely not. I know one of such book, I use to reread it once per every few months. Year after year I keep finding new insights.

3. Going back or forth is stupidly realised on any music player except vinyl and maybe casette, that's why you might consider to keep listening. Normally after missing a few words, the text became glibberish, but typical news or Youtube content may be keep listening without losing the context even at higher speed.

200 pages per 5h is not slow if you are reading OReilly even on your mother language.

> 200 pages per 5h

This is not my reading speed, this is what OReilly is suggesting me about how long it takes to finish reading this book. Also available in many blogging platforms, where time to finish is calculated based on number of words.

Time to finish a page of mathematical paper may be tens minutes per line. OReilly is famous of programming books, some of those are not much easier. Examples are not for just reading and there is no way to finish 200 pages book full of examples in 5 hours.
