Im curious, how many pages do you guys read a day?

>> No.2902065

My experience has been anything between 0 to 700.

>> No.2902084

>> No.2902086

200/300 on average

>> No.2902113

Depends on what kind of pages we're talking about. I mean I often go for weeks without every actually picking up a book because I spend most of the reading time reading stuff online.

But when I do read books I usually read 200-500 pages a day. If it's in another language than my first it can go as low as 50 pages simply because my brain needs rest.

0-40
(I'm talking large nonfiction pages)

>> No.2902136

I try to get 30 a day. I'm sorta methodical in my reading that way. But if I really like the book and I have the time, I can get 60-80 down.

>> No.2902157

Hell, I don't know. I'm sick and I spend a lot of time on the toilet, reading short stories. I read 1-3 stories a day, unless they're like 50 pages each.

How much time do you spend reading per day? And what kind of books?

>> No.2902189

30-60

>> No.2902190 [DELETED] 

I generally read between 50-200 pages per day. It depends greatly on the material I'm reading and whatnot.

With Philosophical texts, especially ones with ideas that are new to me, tend to warrant slower reading and more time for comprehension, the same with focused non-fiction.

General non-fiction and any form of fiction tends to take less resources to comprehend and therefore is easier to read a lot in one sitting. With these I usually read somewhere around 120-200 pages per day. Although I find that sometimes I'm in a mood that completely disagrees with a writer's style and reading so much as 10-20 pages is a gruelling exercise of will.

I find if I read too much of it in one sitting, I can easily lose some of the information.

In the holidays it's either about 130 pages or zero.

>> No.2902201

Depends a lot of my mood, the style of the author and the genre. In a "read drill" I can go as far as 300-400 pages a day. When I'm tired, as few as 20 pages. I essentially the same as >>2902194 except that my reading pace depends really a lot on my mood and motivation. I can read about 100 of quite hard philosophy in a single day if I'm interested, or stop reading a rather easgoing fiction after 10 pages if I don't feel like reading.

>> No.2902295

lately about 20

it's academic reading with vast note taking. also i feel i'm slow at it

>> No.2902385

5-10ish in recent months.

Organic synthesis research articles have so much compacted information, especially when you get a terse one that works with bio molecules. Lots and lots of cross referencing.
