Power-reading

To read an extremely large document in a very short amount of time. Time to page ratio: one page a minute. If you are really pressed for time: two pages a minute.

It was 1:00 p.m. and I just realized that I had a 38 page reading assignment for my class at 2:00. I found myself power-reading so fast that my vision went black for a second.
