Howard Stephen Berg will be the guest speaker for the club’s meeting tomorrow at noon at the Cannery Kitchen, located in Brenham at 314 East Alamo Street. Lunch will be provided.
The Guinness Book of World Records published Berg’s claim as the world’s fastest reader in their 1990 issue, the only year they distinguished this honor. He claims to be able to read over 25,000 words per minute, while writing over 100 words per minute.
Berg’s accomplishments have attracted attention from both the media and academic community, enabling him to appear on over 1,000 radio and television programs while spurring feature stories in major newspapers across the country.
