how long does it take you to read a page in a book? let's assume that it's a standard size novel type book. Does it take you a few minutes or less than a minute? Do you consider yourself a fast reader or a regular paced reader?

For me, it depends on several things. One aspect which affects my reading is the amount of information that is written on the page. This will certainly affect how fast I can read. Like many, I read faster the pages where there are less information. There are days when I read faster than others days. For me, there are a few things that might affect my reading speed.

Hmm that is a good question. I love to read and sometimes go through two or three books in a week. My main issue is trying to find time to read. Most of the time I am up till early morning hours finishing a book that I got wrapped up in. I work all the time but love to read its a passion of mine. I havent really ever timed myself when I read but I think that it takse me under a minute depending on how big the pages of the book are. I guess I do consider myself a fast reader I don't know many people who read two or three books a week.

Reading is something i really spend time for a few years. Books really help a lot on one's personal growth and maturity. I'm a regular paced reader. I think it's my being consistent to follow through reading that was able me to finish several books last year. With an average-sized book, it would take me up to 2 minutes per page. What i usually read are self-help and business books so i have to read a bit slower sometimes to grasp the idea.
