By practicing ;-). I have it worse with movies, but in my case, for several reasons, it's really important (to me) that I watch the movie at it's normal pace and try to enjoy it at that speed. Talking about reading: if you have any suggestions, feel free to email me (since this is already way off topic). I read mostly in my second language, English, and live in a country where English books are hard to find, so browsing in bookshops is not much of an option :-(. And most of my (online) friends don't read much, if at all. -- John Bokma j3b Blog: http://johnbokma.com/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/j.j.j.bokma Freelance Perl & Python Development: http://castleamber.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
