When I was younger, I'd read slowly, trying to visualize the setting, keep track of character preferences, look up words I don't know, etc. I'd remember a book well enough to talk about it even a year or so after.
These days, I just skim over descriptions and read as fast as I could while still getting the main plot. I get attached to characters only if the book is really good and savor them during rereads.
I mostly read fantasy and sci-fi, which tend to have multiple books in a series. If they are easy-to-read and short (300-400 pages per book), it becomes easy to consume. Also, I read for escapism, so I don't read too closely.
Hopefully less than this year. I'm reading too many (100+) and that's reflecting in my reduced time on actual work (self-employed).
I have a list of curated resources here: https://learnbyexample.github.io/py_resources/
There are sections for beginners, intermediate, advanced, etc. Also included are exercises, projects, debugging, testing, and many more stuff. Hope it helps :)

For Python, I wrote a TUI app with 100+ interactive exercises: https://github.com/learnbyexample/TUI-apps/blob/main/PyRegexExercises (covers both re and regex modules)
+1 for Cradle already mentioned. I'd add
It's the name of the constructor, for example:
const pat1 = new RegExp(`42//?5`)
So, I used that in the book name.
That's great to hear and thanks for the kind feedback :)
I used to use it for posting on Twitter, with some keywords (like book title) in bold.
True, perhaps a case of doing too much of anything over a long period ;)
