During graduate school I felt exactly as you do.  Every week I would have to read at least five 300-500 pg. books.  One of my professors gave me good advice:  Don't spend any more than one hour per book.  Read the introduction and the conclusion closely, then skim the rest.  Also, look up book reviews on search engines such as JSTOR. (two or three per book) These reviews will give you a synopsis of the book.

Recite the information on to tape and listen to it.\n\nIt works for me. It is easier for me to listen.

For those who believe, the Bible is a living book.  Which means that the words today are as true as they were yesterday, today, and tomorrow.  When you find new understanding of the scripture it is a little of both going on.  God knows that no one can understand everything all at one time, and he knows that we all learn in different ways.  When scripture messages are "revealed" to you, that is a revelation that God sent to you in a way that you needed to understand it at a time you needed to understand it. Now if you interpret, and it is not God's will, he will find a way to "reveal" that too.  Because if you believe and are truly faithful, God will always provide you with the tools and the information you need.  So, even if you interpret (yourself) and it is a wrong interpretation because you got in the way of your own understanding, God will reveal it to you when you need it.  That is why being a Christian is a journey.  If we all had the ability to read, understand, and apply absolutely everything, then the journey would be over. So, sometimes you will be confused, sometimes you will stumble...but if you are a believer and you ask...he will pick you up when you fall. Just be open and accepting of your revelations as they come and keep studying. Good luck and God Bless.

buy a book-learn to read. Step by step would be a manual-not Yahoo answers.

Illeiteracy is nothing to be ashamed of. There are Adult tutoring classes (even private one-on-one tutors) But, if you can't READ, then how are you going to decipher these answers?????

Stop.\nReading rate is not nearly as important as comprehension.  I read nearly 300 words a minute, but often have to back up and read the same passage over.\nOdds are that you are remembering everything you saw; far more important.\nYour writing is very good- a good indicator of your ability thus far.\nTell ya what... find a large print book.  Uncover one line for just a glimpse and cover it back up.  Recall the line.  Then uncover the next line like the first and so on.\nYou will be reading by phrases instead of by words.  Far faster.\nThere are speed reading courses, but they require you to see just highlights.\nI always recommend Reader's Digest for those wishing to improve.  It has a wide variety of info from a reasonable array of styles.  All condensed down to the absolute essentials.  It also contains improvement features.

I read and absorb an abnormal amount of crap. I am full of random seemingly useless trivia. I can finish a 300 page book in two hours and have read it well enough to give a report if needed.

Start reading the classics, also read general knowledge magazines. I know, but a little trivia keeps you from being too boring.

Well look deeper into the meanings and educate yourself on things. Don't believe anything anyone tells you without searching for the answers yourself.

I'd say just keep reading.  Find something you enjoy and isn't too hard for you to read.  After that,  pick something a little more challenging but just as interesting.  Also, there may be literacy volunteers in your area trained to help adults read (for free).  Good Luck.

When you study break it into chunks. example: read one paragraph at a time and take a break, and/or take a five minute break every twenty minutes.  This is a fool proof plan I know from experience.

play my favorite music (not too loud)\nread and try to understand the subject (english)\nfor history read it like it was a story and memorize the imortant things sucha as dates or referneces like which one happened first, etc.\nfor math and science i just do a lot of problems to practice, since i love math and science i don't see studying as an obligation, but the best way to study is to practice.
