I guess I'm just a speed junkie. If something is read too slowly my
mind drifts off onto another track between the words unless the item
in question is extremely engaging. I'd love to say I enjoyed reading
braille, but my reading is too slow there as well, and I find that
reading a braille display for a long time makes my shoulders hurt for
some odd reason.
