It depends on my mood. Sometimes I get through a page and get bored and go browse 4chan or do e-mails for a few minutes. Other times I'm so "inspired" I eat 40 pages in an hour. It all depends.

[Anonymous No.19504575]

>>19503477
Depends. A while ago I was going by train from the capital back home and I read the whole way with only minor breaks. The whole train ride took about 8 hours. I was actually surprised that I did not feel the need to stop reading. Usually when I read I go about it for about 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours since I mostly read before going to sleep in the evening.

What is important is how much is optimal; with nonfiction, before meditating on what has been read, and potentially resuming immediately afterward, the perfect spot of justright usually comes at approximately fortyfive minutes; with fiction: at approximately one hour.

[Anonymous No.19504899]

I can do at least 2 or 3 hours, easy. Usually I only get up for a bathroom break or to make coffee/get water etc.

Depends on what I'm reading.
Scientific and engineering texts? From dawn to dusk, eating can wait.
Passable to good literature, such as Helluva Boss fanfiction? 4-5 hours.
Anything by Plato? 15 minutes tops, then 45 minutes of pause to recover from the cringe.
4chan threads? 14 years and counting.

[Anonymous No.19505430]

>>19503477
Depends on what I'm reading. If I enjoy something I can read it for the whole day, but if I'm not enjoying what I'm reading I have to go in short bursts otherwise I start to skim shit.

Fond memories of being like 11 years old and seeing that troll face shooped on random men with business suits and finding it the funniesshit ever. I wish that one took off more

I prefer the classic cool face, but I understand the feeling.

[Anonymous No.19505595]

>>19503477
Depends. If I'm reading fiction something like LOTR or ASOIAF I can read it all day, if I read something academic for about an hour or two before I get mentally exhausted.

Around three to four hours. It depends mostly on what I'm reading and if I a have enough energy

The longest book I've ever read in one sitting (including occasionally standing to piss or stretch a bit) was about 500 page, it took roughly 7 hours. My reading stamina has increased over time and my comprehension has kept pace with it.

[Anonymous No.19509196]

>>19503477
Obviously it depends on what is being read, but I've read from being awake to going to sleep. I've read 8+ hours/day for over a week multiple time.

[Anonymous No.19509218]

probably 12 hourd but It was a one off thing and I dont know why my attention was so fixated on it

This isn't true by the way. The raids had nothing to do with /qa/ shutting down.
The actual reason is because they were doxxing mods and posting their information on discords.

top 10min
some books over 2 hours.

The Circle: if i am lucky i would be able to look at it for 5 mins
Der Physiker: till the end without pause

As kid i remember reading a james Bond series for young adults, and hell i loved them red all of the book in a week.
There where some books i just couldn't read and i would start crying from anger.

[Anonymous No.19512394]

>>19511135
I don't retain much. I have to read a book several times to remember it. I don't have good memory in general.
I also have read the ASOIAF series, the Hyperion Series and the first half of the Dune series. With this long series by the time I am reaching the end I already forgot the beginning.
I have never been diagnosed with ADHD but I have a hard time maintaining concentration.

Can last only about 40-50 minutes, though I remember finishing an entire book in a single eight hour sitting once.
