Agree. Even beyond enjoyment I’ve heard multiple very accomplished people in a variety of fields (from theology to math) say in interviews “I’m actually a very slow reader.”

So sure reading fast would be nice, but I think that’s mostly biological whereas slow quality reading you have full control of and we need to focus on that instead.

Ok, but… I love being able to speed read. Love it. And I can’t speed read many things, like philosophy or “zorba the Greek.” Lol just kidding I totally speed read that shit (but slow down when necessary)
