Basically, how fast can you read a book? I average about 20 pages per 30 minutes since I always take the time to read every single line, which is plain silly for me but I can't seem to stop. :T_T: Really need to learn how to skim-read.
Format-wise, just list how many pages you can read in a book in 30 minutes. Just so I can see how fail I am when it comes to reading. :<

Skim-read or understanding-read?

Depends on the format.
But around 10-20 pages in 15 minutes, only if I'm interested.
If I am interested, I don't care how long I take to read a book, I just keep reading 'till I don't feel like it anymore.

Just an example since people need one:

1000 pages long about the women during Arthur's time.
Which is basically 1000 pages or rape, incest, and more incest.
Any type of reading, the one you prefer or are better in that lets you understand better.

Depends if I like it book or not and how big the page/text is.
On average, it's usually 20 pages within 30 mins.
If I have no interest in the book, it's 10 pages within 30.

If Im interested and its like a normal sized back book, on a nice level, I can read 100 pages per hour to an hour and a half. I read You might be a zombie and other bad news (320 pages) in about 4 hours... Really depends on the book, my textbooks take me like 30 minutes per 10 pages...

The books they give us in English are too annoying to take long to read.
