I don't read. I only buy books to appear more intellectual. Why did you ask?

I make a pot of coffee and read for an hour with each so three hours in a day

about 20 pages of "free" reading. about 80 more pages of shit related to university.

2 hours or so

I read about 100 or so pages a day, usually within an hour just before bed.

>>15343626
I shove books up my fat little vagina

about half an hour first thing in the morning and whenever I take a shit

>100 pages in 1 hour
wtf are you reading?

>>15343626
100-150 a day i guess

>>15343699
>Not retaining any of the material
>Not pondering on the material after a few chapters, just straight up speed running books

It depends entirely on how well I can focus and keep myself from wasting hours of the day arguing with strangers on the Internet

this

ideally i try to read 100 pages per day. if im having a busy day with work i try to get in at the very least 25 pages.

>>15343626
On average around 80 pages per day. But I'm reading Infinite Jest right now, and it's cut my usual reading speed in half.

>>15343626
fifty pages a day, more or less.

>>15343626
more than u lmao

tfw used to read 100 a day but after starting gravity's rainbow I can only manage 10 a day

>>15343626
is this kat in 2 years?

50 pages sometimes 100

Depends on the book, normally I do one or two chapters, but if it's good I do a marathon until I can't no more.

>>15343626
Depends on the book. I'd say I average 30 pages a day. When I read fiction though, I can go through 60-70

I used to read 200-300 pages a day. But coronaChan fucked me up. Now I only read on weekends. I can read some banal books but I can't read Pynchon or Proust while also working all night long.

I try to read at least 50 pages a day but it depends on the book too.

0-10 pages. Ive slowed down my reading speed to ensure I’m understanding fully.

I try to do 30 pages a day at the least, depends on the book though, some books are challenging for me (Philosopy), so 20 for those kinds.

>>15343626
depends, i try to read 100 pages a day but usually end up around 40-60.
but I'll also have days where i sit down pretty much all day and end up reading 300+ pages if i don't get distracted.

>>15343626
I don't read, I just say the book is shit on /lit/ and take notes

>>15346550
I've been reading 30 pages of this a day, but in fairness I am unemployed currently. If I wasn't it would be a lot less.

>>15344893
u mad?

>>15343626
pages is a bit of a bad way to measure imo, I aim for 2 or 3 chapters

>tfw stop reading every 10 minutes to shitpost, watch youtube garbage or jerk off
how do i stop? or should i just embrace it if i have no deadlines

>>15348898
find a book you like and read until you physically can't anymore

>>15344777
Comics lmao

>>15349033
still impressive, I get bored of reading comics very quickly

>>15343626
she looks like paperbackdreams

I read reviews of the book and opinions online and then combine them and form an opinion of the book.

>>15343626
>how often
I either read little bits throughout the day when I have time (probably a chapter or so at a time, 5-10 pages) or for extended periods after dinner or in bed before I settle down to sleep.
>how much
Varies depending on how much work I have for university, it can be as little as 10-20 when busy but on average I like to read at least 100 pages, I’d read more but I have stuff to do in my life

>>15343703
imagine if that worked

>>15343660

The only honest person here. Keep it in health.

Usually 20-40. I read an hour in bed before I sleep and I stop to contemplate a lot. I can count on a chapter a night. My dreams are wicked vivid too.

Depends on what I’m reading currently but probably about 25 pages or so on the day-to-day. I spend a lot of time making notes and thinking. I used to feel bad about not going fast, but after practicing speed reading I really found it only helped with fiction novels, or books that are telling a story.

It depends on what I'm reading, I can't read Infinite Jest at the same speed I can read A farewell to arms so one is 50-100 pages while the other one is 20 a day

>>15343626
100-250 during lockdown
