Dear Welcome to HCM We understand your concerns I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Reading from books usually become mechanic when the pace of readings is very slow. The task of reading is very easy for your eyes and eye-brain co-ordination is not required, therefore mind wanders. Fast reading helps to have eye-brain co-ordination and therefore effective reading emanates. In your case, your slow reading is being rectified by the brain itself. Brain asks your eyes to move fast. It happens so because the brain feels that the passage is important and slow reading may be futile. You are blessed soul in that sense. Very few people s brain has this ability. Be proud and enjoy. Do not correct your brain, but make fast reading a habit. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR.
