Was close to 1 when I was still reading fiction.

I'm kind of busy, but I make it my goal to read at least 50 to 100 pages of whatever book I'm reading each day

>> No.3582874

10-50 pages a day.

I'm kind of new to reading, and my ADD makes me have to reread pages a lot to fully understand everything that was written.

I'm working on getting better.

Just how much free time do you have? I consider myself a fast reader and I usually average around 2 books per week.

“Reading is merely a surrogate for thinking for yourself; it means letting someone else direct your thoughts. Many books, moreover, serve merely to show how many ways there are of being wrong, and how far astray you yourself would go if you followed their guidance. You should read only when your own thoughts dry up, which will of course happen frequently enough even to the best heads; but to banish your own thoughts so as to take up a book is a sin against the holy ghost; it is like deserting untrammeled nature to look at a herbarium or engravings of landscapes.”

I read about 20 pages a day. On good days I'll read on the high end of 60+ pages... shitty days are 10-15 or less.

>> No.3583331

reading IJ atm and rarely average more than 10 pages and hour. I'm naturally a slow reader but normally I get to 30 pages/h.

Depending on my schedule I read between 1 and 5 hours a day. It goes without saying that there are also times I don't get to read at all.
