- Reading while watching TV. This is in direct conflict with AJ Jacobs experiment in 'The Guinea Pig Diaries' where he starts unitasking (in place of multitasking)
- Read at work during breaks
- Always have a book handy in case time becomes available
- Read shorter books like collections of poems or essays. (Rachel is not counting short children's books during her quest.)
- Make reading a social occasion -- do it with others
- Read for 20 minutes before going to bed
- Read while excercising (be careful)
Though Rachel doesn't technically speed read, all of this reading has made her much faster. She reads more than one word at a time, and skims uninteresting paragraphs. She doesn't skip parts of books, but if she's uninterested in the book, she'll put it down a book quickly if she doesn't like it. There are too many good books to read really bad ones.
