Why don't you stop making these dumbass threads and open up an actual book?

>>16850167
That would take effort uwu

>>16850167
Take multiple seats and read multiple books

>>16850157
Possible? 1600
Reality? 1200

>>16850208
if true how?

>>16850212
Hardcore larper. Even at 30 seconds a page which is somewhat fast especially for denser books, that's 10 hrs of reading a day on average.

>>16850212
I've been reading since I was 3 and I just kept reading more and more complicated material. The more dense it is, the longer a slog (if it is a slog). I considered reading the bible in one day is a milestone. It's not that easy to understand. I think I was twelve when I first accomplished reading the bible in a day. You can shit, shower and shave and that's it. The rest of the day is spent reading.

>>16850240
1600 pp/day is np in twenty hours.

>>16850250
>>16850246

I do not believe you. You're on 4chan rn. Must be cutting into your 1200 pages.

>>16850262
I don't do it every single day. Just when something is super interesting. I loved Moby Dick but it took me almost a month to get through it. If the material is easy to digest, 1600/l.pp a dday is np.

anywhere between 30 and 100. depends how I feel, how much time I have

bout tree fiddy
really

my zoomie attention span is too short but im working on it

>>16851088
I'm trying too, turn off computer and leave your phone in another room. Just sit somewhere quiet with your book, be interested in whatever it is your reading.

This year I’ve averaged 62 a day

usually about zero, on a good day I'll get 5-10

I have no idea, it depends on the book. I read until I'm unable to keep focus which is about an hour, then I take a break and read for another hour and repeat as necessary

>>16850157
3 hours of audiobook

>>16850282

What's your IQ, how well did you do in school/university (if you went)?

i work from home and often have a non-fiction audiobook on in the background at double speed, and if i have the time i read for an hour or so at night, in total i probably average about 800

>>16850157
Usually 20-30 on good days 50+. +/- 10 pages depending on density of subject matter.

Eh it depends some days I read a hundred pages, some day only 10, other times non at all. It should be a chore to read so I only read when I feel like doing so. Same as writing.

Zero to a book depending on the feeling that what i‘m reading teaching me something new and meaningful.

>>16850157
On average, about 150 pages a day this month. Over the whole year closer to 50 pages a day.

>>16852782
188; poorly

Not more than 40. Books are expensive and I refuse to buy an e-reader.

>>16852875
>>16850295
only acceptable answers because it's not some fag flexing his pretend reading muscles to fags on 4chan who say they read 100000000+ pages a day while also posting on 4chan.

>>16850157
I finished 200+ page of YA in one sit when I was in middle school and it not even good. Has never finished half a book since then and I am shitposting in /lit/ for nearly a year.

Good Day 200
Bad Day 0

>>16850157
don't read daily but on average about 20-50 pages. If i'm close to finishing it or really enjoying it up to 100

Reminder that "speed reading" does not exist, they're just skimming.

>>16850157
I legitimately read about 280 pages today, 22 of which I typed.
I finished 3 different books, one of which I started today! It feels good because I hadn't finished a single book in quite a while prior to this.
It is the biggest amount of reading in a single day I have done in a very long time, the closest thing I remember was 3 months ago when I read 250 pages if the dead zone

Usually like 30 to 80

100 pages per day. I read about 50 pages an hour.

About 120-200.

me? ha easily over 10,000

I listen to about an hour of audiobooks at 1.5 speed daily

>>16850157
unironically 5-10

will finish Bible in 40 days

>>16850157
0

Depends entirely on the book and the day. Anywhere from 20-100+. Some books are larger print or formatted in such a way that there are more pages than usual. I can usually read double my average amount with those books. Typically I read around 30-40 pages.

Last year I read 60 books including Infinite Jest, the Iliad, the Odyssey and Don Quixote, at the moment I'm in second year sixth form and doing 4 A levels and mentally at a low point and now I'm reading Pale Fire which I like but I don't read every day and when I do manage to make myself read it's about 5 pages

>>16850157
Very little, I have a poor living situation rn so its hard for me to focus with loud family members and I dont have a car nor are there any decent libraries where I am and I cant read at home because I dont a have a study room so Im never in the mood.

>>16853613
I don't post on 4chan every day, inestimable faggot.

On average maybe 60 pages a day. Depending on how good the book is, and how busy I am. I also try to balance my other hobbies, so I don't just read all day. Although during summer lockdown I did exactly that and I loved it, probably averaged 300 pages a day

It's so dumb. What's the meaning ? It's a contest ?
Why not read empty books ? You can read lots of white pages each day !! Reading Emptiness, the New Meditation.

>>16854972
shouldn't you get going on your 1000 page a day, anon? surely your time spent on that reply to me could have easily netted you 50 odd pages?

>>16855097
1600 and am I supposed to be sorry for it? Lay off
