    Depends on book, how absorbed you are, how much time you have to put aside, etc.

    Everyone does everything at their own pace, don’t feel threatened. That’s a mug’s game

      I’m mostly being facetious, I love to read, but I tend to read a lot of nonfiction shit like Chomsky or Stephen Kinzer. I’m not worried that I’m dumb, I am a little shook about the idea of finishing a book in 2 hours though honestly.

        Ime most people who report to read very fast tend to absord less information. They also seem to spend less time picking apart the details and mulling them over. For me a big part of reading isn’t really reading but thinking in-between moments of reading

          Yeah, my dyslexia makes sure I read slowly, but my reading comprehension always tested perfectly. Although my ADHD can have me zoning out and reading the same word, line, paragraph, or even page, multiple times…
