Read machiaveli the prince and it took 3 hours. Am I doing it right?
Yep, every book is a contest and you have to clock in your read times.
Also, any meal you don't wolf down in under 20 minutes is a disgrace to yourself and your family, so clock that shit, too.

Are there people who eat for longer than five minutes?
Except fat people?

Yes. They're people who can afford more than ramen and water.

Of course. Adults sometimes enjoy their food while relaxing after a hard day at work. You should try that when you grow up anon.

As long as you understood the book you are fine, and if you aren't then just reread it
Everyone here needs to calm down, there's nothing wrong than reading a bit fast

ive never understood, people take a bite, and then they pause before taking the next one. It seems to serve no purpose that I can see, and just the idea of it feels so unnatural that I cannot muster it

Op here. I have a friend that saw me eating quickly after a workout or something and I've always been criticized for eating quickly and I can't believe people have the nerve to say this like they're so concerned about other people that they will judge them on their eating habits which is a very rare occurrence to be in the presence of someone and watching them eat and critiquing their every move. Anyway you guys why aren't you enjoying your food.
And yes I understood the book

But if you do not commit the material to memory and seriously think about it while reading it, there is literally no point in picking the book up i nthe first place.
The goal is not to get to the end with rapidity, it is to understand the text and have it enter and enrich your mind.

You should be able to see that some people enjoy pacing and savoring their food, the pleasure isn't all in the sating of hunger.
It's a bit different with reading, a good book makes it possible to blast through it.

Silly anon, you can finish it in 5 minutes, you just read Ecclesiastical Principates then decide to stop.

Machiavelli literally looks like your 8 year old disgusting nephew who wants to play your video games
