Read More does not contain any books, it just logs your reading and saves your quotes. It does not encourage speed reading but encourages you to read more books. Reading more not only helps you to learn more things but also helps you to utilize your time which goes to waste on your phone or in any frivolous activity. “Great speed in reading is a dubious achievement; it is of value only if what you have to read is not really worth reading. A better formula is this: Every book should be read no more slowly than it deserves, and no more quickly than you can read it with satisfaction and comprehension.” - Mortimer J. Adler, How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading Read More will also help you: DAILY READING GOAL Set a daily reading goal for yourself. You can start small if you are a beginner and then gradually increase it. MAINTAIN WEEKLY AND MONTHLY READING LOG You can monitor your reading log CREATE READ LATER LIST You can create a read later list so that you can jump to the next book without thinking much over what next. MAINTAIN ALREADY FINISHED BOOKS LIST Add books you have finished into 'Already Finished' list to see how many and what books you have read so far. FAVORITE QUOTES Add your favorite quotes.
