20 pages/day is still infinitely times more reading than the average American does per day.

That's normal wdym? When I get into a book I really like I might even read 30-40 pages

>> No.17500211

>>17500189
Man, I thought reading *at least* 50 pages a day was still considered a low amount, realistically I can read about 20 to 40 too, maybe 50 if the book is written in a simpler style, but I thought I was just a slow reader

not american but yeah fair enough. I've been trying to get into reading since I used to read a lot when I was younger. "Kid books" maybe yeah but still I liked reading a lot. I'm trying to start doing that everyday and read 30-40 pages a day, not just when I am reading a book

I checked my goodreads and the last book that really gripped me was The Brothers Karamazov, which I've read over two and a half years ago. But even then I only read about 50 pages per day, because it took me almost three weeks.

Writing at that pace is almost certainly balderdash/schizo rambling. Hard to write eloquently and thoughtfully while you’re bashing out pages with a jackhammer. Post excerpt.
