slow reading
Unhurried text absorption
Slow reading is the deliberate practice of reading at a measured pace, emphasizing comprehension and reflection over speed.
It's a response to skimming culture—the idea that rushing through text sacrifices depth for efficiency.
Advocates treat it as a discipline: I've been slow reading one novel a month instead of racing through several.
