How fast do you read? (1 Viewer)

[Lundy]

Yeah, I'm slow mostly because I have to make sure I've digested the information, otherwise it feels pointless.

I read fast if the content interests me, maybe 100+ pages in an hour

i find the words blurry after reading really fast for 5 minutes, so..for the sake of my eyes...i try to read as slow as i can.

I think you can train yourself to speed read by using a metronome.

i did a speed reading course thingo with my mum when i was like 13 lol i dont think it did much. I'm a pretty fast reader... too fast, annoying when reading a good book coz it finishes too quickly. Read the last hp book in a day.

i dont know how fast i can read. i think im a pretty slow reader. really boring books/texts take about 3 rounds before it's absorbed into my head. i like reading on the train - quiet ones that is. i dont even bother in carriages with young kids - just too noisy.

me too.. minus harry potter. give me a good book and ill read it in a couple of hours..like dead famous =) but give me a crap book and ill read the same page a few times before getting it

 

[gem_max]

sometimes its annoying when you read fast because you get excited and through the thing too fast then suddenly after closing the book on that final page youre like 'now what? oh crap ill have to find another book and will it be as good as this one?'

Its such an anti climax...

[Daemontreu]

Hrm... around 100+ pages per hour. I read faster if it's a book I'm actually interested in, or if I have access to food. Otherwise I'm continually breaking off reading to go find food.

I also read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix easily in 5 or 6 hours. Reading fast can be fun - except sometimes the plot is just SO exciting you wish you could read faster so you could get it all in... then it starts getting boring and you're like "waaaaaah..."
