what the fuck is your reading speed to be able to read all that and where do you take into account the extra time when in need to slow down so you can understand?

those books are shit, kek. I missed OP's point

if i read 15 minutes a day i would probably finish about half of a dickens novel in a year

15 minutes i could read 20 pages about on average

20x365=7300 this doesnt even cover hp and ice and fire

make that at least 1 hour and we might start getting somewhere. On average I think I'd read about 25-30 pages an hour. 30*365 = 10950. But then again, the Bible alone is over 1000

15 minutes is a dumb way too look at it. How bout read 20 pages a day. Thats one hundred pages every 5 days.

>> No.12980256

only 7300 pages a year >>12979298

Because most people schedule their time using standard divisions by minute instead of the variable time required to read 20 pages. 20 pages of George RR Martin is like 5 pages of Dostoyevsky

I'm fairly sure you couldn't read all of those books inside a year reading 15 minutes a day.

Also the text is super dense. I spent a few months reading the Bible and only got to the end of Leviticus.
