While reading Shigehiko Toyama’s “The Serendipity of Random Reading”, I came across the term “rhetorical afterimage”. It is a point of view that if you read too slowly, your understanding of the text will be hindered because the memory (afterimage) of the previous sentence remains in the text, which promotes understanding of the text. This is close to my feeling. #speedreading
