Adam Stormblessed Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 How quickly can you guys read a book? Call it approximately 500 pages. For me very slow lol, I only recently re-discovered how much i like to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreader Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I've done that in as little as 2 hours but if I don't have the time to do it in one sitting or I'm not up to reading that fast it may take a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hi Adam, welcome to the forum. You might like to have a look at some existing threads about reading rates What is your reading rate? and How many books a week / month / year?

Marie H Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hello Adam Stormblessed (and welcome to the Forums) Blimey, 500 pages takes me 2 or 3....well, we are talking days rather than hours . At that is when I'm really interested in the book. I think I'm also a slow reader, because I have to have the words sound in my head, I just can't skim read.

geordie9 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 500 pages i would like to take at least 5- 7 days if im enjoying it, if its crap quicker!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) I can read 60-100 pages per hour, depending on how many words there are on the page and the complicatedness of the text. So about one page per minute or faster. If it's a complicated book or I'm supposed to study it, then it's slower of course. If the book is a manga, graphic novel or comic, reading it goes quicker too. EDIT: My biggest problem is my sensory input issues. After I've been reading for a while, especially when a lot happens in a book, I need time to process it.

Brian. Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 My reading rate is about the same as Athena's but I would rarely sit down and read for hours on end. I tend to read for an hour or so and then go do something else for 15 minutes and repeat this pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
