So I was trying to pick up reading again yesterday since I had nothing better to do. I finished off my book (The Four Loves by CS Lewis) and was pretty satisfied with it overall. Then I looked at the clock and noticed how much time went by as I was reading.
I spent about 2 hours reading…
… the last 50 pages.
I calculated it out, I have a reading rate of about a page / 2.5 min = 125 words per minute.
As a basis, the average fourth grader is expected to read at 115 words per minute.
Maybe I should look up that speed reading stuff….
