About this Quote

This quote by Franklin P. Jones talks to the trouble of developing speed reading abilities. It recommends that when one is able to check out rapidly, they might not be able to tell if a book is tiring until they have actually currently finished it. This can be a discouraging experience, as it means that the reader has actually lost their time on a book that they did not delight in. It also indicates that speed reading can be a double-edged sword, as it can be a beneficial ability, however it can likewise cause an absence of gratitude for the material reading. This quote acts as a suggestion to be conscious of the books we pick to check out, and to put in the time to appreciate them.
