A stranger's bookmark made me slow down my reading habit

Last Tuesday at a shop in Portland, I noticed a woman leave a book on the table with a ribbon marking page 312. The barista asked if she was done, and she said no, she just wanted to savor the middle section. I usually rush through novels in two sittings, but her calm about pausing made me rethink why I treat every chapter like a race. Has anyone else tried spacing out a good book on purpose, and did it change how much you remembered?
