Take the test and measure your speed, choose intermediate complexity.
I personally got 294 words per minute which is disheartening. Currently reading Jane Eyre and it takes me about an hour to clear and comprehend 30 pages which is pretty slow...

That's not so bad. Read 3 hours a day and you'll finish a 300p book in 3 days. That's 362 days faster than most Americans.

Shouldn't be disheartening. You'll just spend more time doing the thing you love!
481 with 75% comprehension
I'm drunk, so take that with a pinch of salt.

359wpm, 75% comprehension but english isn't my first language
>>9957161
627, 75%
Although I did it twice since I didn't know I was being quizzed on it. I have to have knowledge of what's being/to be asked in order to commit certain pieces of infirmation I'd otherwise overlook for being little details vs. whatever interested me to read X in the first place.

Did a different one fresh this time. 492/75 but it was about football. I don't give a shit about football, so I had to read slower.

739/75
These tests are a bit of a joke. In reality I read fiction at about 450 wpm.
>>9957161
How many wpm do you guys read at when reading philosophy?
>>9957161
608 wpm 100% comprehension. This test is bullshit though. irl I read slow as fuck, especially philosophy.

Speed is for plebs who lack critical thought. Each word should be pondered to their logical extremes, and each sentence dissected and reduced to ash.

are there any books that would be as good as her falling in love with me?
>>9957410
this is true though. for example, circle every time Marx uses the word 'appears' before his argument.
Now I feel stupid :( baka
