How FAST can you go? (1 Viewer)

[sam04u]

I've never read a decent modern newspaper article in my life. The writers try to hard, and fail at life. >_>

Honestly, it's like the style they've all come to accept to be the norm, is fail in and of itself. I like the really old newspaper articles though, they really are engaging, back when journalism meant something eh?

i usually finish reading a 500+ page book in about 6 hours straight..but i usually take a few breaks

 

[Explosions Hurt]

I can go in about 10 minutes.

I read the last Harry Potter in one day.

So did another billion people around the world lol. I recall the world's fastest reading time for the last book was two or three hours. Maybe less.

But how can people measure that? Anyone can read a book 2 hours but it's just that they do not understand very well after that.

speed reading, i can glance at a sentence and get the meaning of that sentence...some people in the world can do paragraphs like that.

I mean - how can they measure that?

 

[u-borat]

I finished the twilight series in a weekend... mostly at night. However it took me like a week to read some crappy english novel

haha omg i read the whole twilight serios in 2 days haha
and yere that was only at night cause i had school and work during the day i loved it!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nerdsforever]

I take ages to read. One minute a page

 

[SiN3m]

it depends on the book...it's taken me months to read 'Emma' although that wasn't consistent at all....

usually can read a small print 400pg book in a day.... however that's if i like the book.... ifim not a fan, i usually read about 50-100 pages a night

i am.

i once read the entire students oxford dictionary in 8 hours

edit: but could only recall 1/4 of it the next day.

 

[selablad]

I can usually read about 100 pages each way on the bus trips to and from school (just under an hour long), which is when I do most of my reading. But it really depends on how interesting the book is, and what distractions I have, and all that. The bus is pretty boring, so I can read a bit quicker there than I normally can.

 

[suzlee]

With school, homework and other distractions I managed to finish the twilight series in two weeks ... but that was just because I got into it so much.
Other less interesting books like English novels take me about a holiday
I am dead slow.

 

[Snaykew]

Just started reading the first book of A Song Of Ice And Fire and I'm liking it.
