On dynamic reading speeds see Adler 1972, p. 39. On quality over quantity see Adler 1972, p. 164-165. *** It makes no sense to read very fast, nor very slow. The goal when reading is to find the appropriate speed and to vary your reading speed dynamically at all times. Nevertheless when reading expository books, it's best to read a few very well, than a lot poorly... But you should always strive to find the appropriate speed that a book deserves. => The quality vs quantity dilemna is not universal at all: it is about finding the correct balance in real-time for each endevaor you're facing. => Same balancing challenges: [[Expertise and intuition]] and [[Committing adequately]]
