The pace of reading, clearly, depends entirely upon the reader. He may read as slowly or as rapidly as he can or wishes to read. If he does not understand something, he may stop and reread it, or go in search of elucidation before continuing.

If what he reads is moving he can put down the book for a few moments and cope with his emotions without fear of losing anything.
