I'm sorry, but Anna Karenina is about 700 pages long. Even if you were reading 16 hours a day, you'd need to be reading about 40 pages an hour consistently. It's possible to read that quickly, but it's more skimming than actually reading.

>> No.863899

Rule of thumb is 1 min 1 page

>> No.863903

Skimming is 10 sec 1 page

>> No.863904

>>863899

Speed reading isn't really reading, it's skimming. You can't read a single page in a single minute and fully absorb it all, you're just getting the key points. That's not how novels were intended to be read. That's how you read when you want to prove to everyone how cultured you are because you've read a lot of books, but the problem is that you don't fully understand the work.

>> No.863906

>>863903

I said it's MORE skimming than reading. I realize there's a difference between skimming and speed reading, but speed reading is closer to skimming than actually reading. Neither of them should be used for literature.

>> No.863909

>>863904
1 min 1 page is not speed reading, 10 sec 1 page is. How slowly do you read a page in a novel? 2 min? I refuse to believe that anyone who reads and doesn't have something like dyslexia takes more than 2.5 min

>Neither of them should be used for literature.

No they shouldn't, that's why I don't and take a full min to read a page

>> No.863916

>>863909

Most of the books I read have a small font size. I don't think it's bizarre to take 2 minutes to read a page. Sometimes I go back and re-read something, sometimes I stop and think about what's being said and what's taking place. Sure, I could charge through and read the page quickly, but unless you stop for introspection it's not going to do much more than entertain me.

I, too, enjoy reading Harry Potter

>> No.863922

>>863893 well actually my version was around 950 pages

and yes dear sir its actually easier to speed read becouse you dont get add every 10 or so pages of boring descriptions

also , my normal reading rate is about 50 pages an hour .

and it took me the whole day to read it (- 2hours i select everyday for food,bathroom etc.)

yes i agree with you , there where few occasions where i was just plain tired ,and slowly fell into skimming (last time reading oroonoko ) but at such moments , i just let the book sit ,and i do something else

becouse above all my integrity would not let me , do a shit job and waste two hours of my life , just so i could get enlighted by a wikipedia article.

>> No.863927

>>863922

The point I'm trying to make is that, depending on the difficulty of the work, the longer it takes to read a page changes. Try reading anything by Melville and read a page a minute. I guarantee you won't understand every word, nor understand fully what's happening. If you're reading something like Vonnegut, it's a much, much quicker read because he's not a difficult writer.
