How many pages can you read in an hour?
20-30 pages here.

Depends entirely on the content I am reading.

I could read 50 pages of fantasy schlock in an hour.
I'd be lucky to get through 10 pages of Joyce in that time.

>> No.18504257

I think I used to read around 30 an hour for paperback fantasy, no idea what the wordcount would be for that.

I unironically can do five at best because I can't go on reading if there is anything I don't understand, so I have to take apart everything I read until I believe I fully or at least mostly understand it.

About a hundred or so. Really weird to see that people here can only read about twenty to thirty in an hour.

>> No.18504941

Depends on what you read. Also depends if you understand what you're reading cause everyone can speed read the words without grasping the meaning.

Not only does it depend on the content, but it also changes based on the font size, margins, line spacing, etc. Not really a fair question.

Not to read it, but to understand it. And with understanding, I mean taking everything that isn't crystal clear apart. It's even worse with books written in older language. And then, yes, it can happen that it takes that long.

I could read a fifty, sixty, or more pages of something like Harry Potter in an hour and miss absolutely nothing. I could read ten pages of the Iliad in an hour and absorb almost none of it. It depends so heavily on what I'm actually reading that it might as well be a completely meaningless metric.

At least sixty if there's only 1 word on each page. If they're colouring books even faster.

Page count is a poor measure because books vary wildly in page size and font size, and that doesn't begin to factor in the actual content of the work being read. So we should go by word count, because page count is an unreliable measure of reading speed and comprehension ability. I'd estimate my WPH to be around 5000-10000, but this may be inaccurate to my actual capabilities.

Depends on the book. I was reading a popcorn western novel a week ago and I read 70 pages per hour but I also read Moby Dick this year and it was only 20 pages per hour, Usually its between 40-50.
