A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle in which travel occurs at the speed of thought. That'd be fast. The process of cognition is quite slow when compared to current technology. For instance, a loud sound takes a good fraction of a second before we are aware of it.
Of course what is almost certainly meant by the author is that we could be in a place as soon as we think of it. That would be a neat trick, especially of we are thinking of some place on the other side of the Universe.

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle in which travel occurs at the speed of thought. Nerve impulses (thought) travel between neurons at about 200 mph. It might take you a while to get anywhere you need to go.
