How fast do you finish reading ~100 pages on average? I'm curious how fast the average reading speed is and how slow I actually am in comparison.

About an hour.

So you read a page in less than 30 seconds? Yeah, that's called looking at the pictures

depends on the size of the pages
depends on the size of the font
depends on the size of the margins
depends on whether it's fiction
depends on whether it's non-fiction
depends on the prose
depends on the density of ideas
depends on my mood
depends on the weather
depends on the environment in which i'm reading
depends on my interest in the book
depends on my state of fatigue
depends on how long i've been reading for preceding this measured time
depends on the proximity to my waking or the inverse, sleeping
among other things

I read 10 pages before bed. On public transport, which is a 1 hour ride, I get through maybe 30 (assuming no one is spazzing out on the bus).

Depends man.

100 pages of Wealth of Nations goes a hell of a lot slower than 100 pages of Harry Potter.

Probably 2-3 hours depending on how dense the text is, what type of book (if its enough to skim through, like fiction books, or requires me to fully focus and understand) and how boring it is

like others anons said it depends of a lot of things
but normally 1h or a bit more

Depends on the type of book, but for most mass market fiction, I'd say about a few hours, roughly one page every 2-3 minutes.
