1. No. :(
My reading speed has slowed way down, like everything else. I can't focus my eyes very quickly any more, and sometimes not at all. Another medical issue they're still trying to figure out.

I'd love to be able to read as quickly and as much as I used to.

2. I always read faster than the people around me
In school, the teacher would sometimes give us time to read a few pages or a chapter in class. I'd be done and looking around, noticing that no one else was done and some were way behind.
I don't read like my husband though. He can essentially scan a page in a few seconds and comprehend it. I generally read every word and hear it in my head.

4. I'm a fast reader rather than a speed reader, if that makes sense.

6. I used to be able to
Not the official "Evelyn Woods" speed reading, but I used to read really fast. Now, with my eyes, not so much.
