Re: Reading speed
 

i do the "block reading" thing.


i don't pick a lot of small things, but i tend to fly through books. Much of the time i'll read a sentence in the complete wrong order and then while i start on the next one, make sense of the last one. It sounds weird but eh.

As for typing, i've been told i'm a really fast typer, i can average 100 WPM if i try hard enough, but my average is about 80 to 90 a minute. I can attribute it solely to being bored in infotech class and playing around with the educational typing program.

Re: Reading speed
 

if anything, I just read what I need to, like just skim through the pages.

I read slower than a painful ****.

Re: Reading speed
 

I tend to read quite fast, but at the same time I tend to tune out the fact that I'm reading, so I have to reread things quite a bit.

Re: Reading speed
 

overal, i'd have to say I read quite slow, I can read probably 10 pages in 5 minutes maybe?

During the first 159 pages of A Game of Thrones, I wrote down the time I spent reading. I've been calculating and now I know how many words I read per hour: 8638.5
A Game of Thrones has 395.7 words per page, so that makes 21.83 pages per hour, which is 2.75 minutes per page.

(I found a text file of the book so I could count the words very accurately.)
