I can read CRAZY fast. A chapter of Naruto takes me a little under 2 minutes to read. I work in an office and can pretty much get away with anything short of murder because, when I do work, I'm about 8 times faster than everyone else that works there -.-

After reading manga so much, I've become 'good' at reading manga. I can visual/process the pictures extremely quickly, I have semi-photographic memory in that regard. I can do this sort of 'skim-reading' where I gloss over the words, and let my brain process them faster than my vision. I can't do it for something like Death Note, but for light reads, it's pretty easy for me to rush through it and get the same experience as if I took my time, only faster.

It's important to note that I only read things I moderately enjoy (or don't enjoy like was the case with Bleach for the past 2ish years). I take a little bit longer on One Piece and HxH and such even if I don't have to.

I don't believe faster reading is better reading per se, but I like being able to go through a TON of chapters.
