Correct, and a fine thing it is.
I was once sublected to a speed reading course by an employer. Rather strangely they let us choose our own books. I chose Voltaire's Candide, it being short and a work I had almost verbatim. Puzzled the course leader no end. A colleague chose Three Men in a Boat for similar reasons, which only goes to show the diversity and cunning of human nature.
Your go.
