>tfw to slow too finish a book in an acceptable amount of

I usually schedule about 60 pages give or take per day. A ~450 pager can be done in a week, 500-700 in roughly 10-14 days and 700-1,300 page memes in just under a month.

Depending on the book I can usually do 60 pages/hour, even slower if I'm vocalizing the text in my head. If I'm speedreading then I'll do something like 1k words/min.

This is how i do it. If its a small book aka less than 200 pages ill try to break the book down into halves to finish over 2 days

It depends on how much I like it. I usually read 100 pages per day, but I keep going if it's a good book. For example, I finished Death on the Installment Plan (roughly 500 pages) in 2 days.

I can relate. I only do like 20 pages a day, f a m. but then again, I'm not really trying to read as fast as possible, just enjoy the ride.

Im slow so i usually do like 20-30 pages per day but I'll do over 100 if I get a cozy spot at my uni's library.

How do you read faster? I know people who can rip through a 300 pager in a day.

Speedreading is only useful for factual texts. You're ment to take your time when reading something profound.

I have no idea how someone could, for example, speedread through something by Kant for the first time and do 500 pages in a couple of hours and at the same time be able to accurately summarize everything he's read.

because they spend more time reading instead of shitposting/socializing/browsing fb/netflixing/vidya/whatever the fuck

it's not about reading 500 pages in an hour, its about spending 10 hours reading instead of 1.

hmmm so you're saying I shouldnt spend all my time shitposting on an Uzbek pointillism website?

Consistently two chapters per day depending on the book, though I've only recently been getting into literature.
