one chapter at a day

Yes, I too love reading and it's definitely a favourite pastime of mine! I actually have several books on the go simultaneously and the funny thing is I never seem to forget where I am in each book! Some people like to concentrate on one book at a time but I like to get as much reading done as possible within my lifetime! I think if reading one chapter per day works for you then this is fine! It all depends on how busy you are and everyone is different with their personal choices and preferences. I think the important thing is you are reading and that's all that matters in my view! Anyway, good luck with your reading and I'm also going to get into some serious escapism today! Andrew

Hi, I think you should activate your peripheral vision while reading. The left brain dominant readers seem to go ahead of their fixation point. A fixation point is the point at which your eyes get fixed while reading. The fixation points moves along the sentence as you read it. We don't follow a continuous pattern while reading. Rather our fixation point jumps in forward direction. The lesser number of fixation points per sentence , the faster will be the reading. Now a question may arise. How come we read the entire sentence with a 1 or 2 fixation points per sentence? The thing works like this. You actually look at 2-3 words per sentence and manage the rest with your peripheral vision. What is this peripheral vision? When you look at something in particular, a part of its surroundings also comes into your view, though you are not looking at it. So you stare at a fixed location, but actually see an area around it. You apply this peripheral vision to your readings and your reading speed will improve considerably. Thanks. God bless you

When I start a book, I don't stop until I have finished it. One reason I haven't been doing much reading. I have so much to do, and when I read that is all I do.

I don't think I could ever stand to read that slow. Even when I'm really busy, I find myself devouring more than just one chapter of a book. I'm not really a fast reader, but I'm an avid reader. I can't go anywhere without a book, and I can't go a day without reading at least 20 pages of a book. I'm always snatching spare minutes reading here and there. Just doing a chapter a day would drive me nuts.

Reading is also one of my favorite hobbies too. I love how you can read a book and then years later see that book and instantly remember the story and be whisked away in your mind to it! I find reading before bed makes for a more relaxed transition into the sleep mode.

I don't think I've ever read a book a chapter a day, unless it's a really long chapter, or a boring book. Well actually last night I read a little but not a whole chapter of one book... Not because it's boring but because I love to earn!

I love to read. I've read Ken Follet's Eye of the Needle many years ago and saw the movie too. When I have a large book to finish, I do like you do and aim to finish at least one chapter a day. So if the book has 24 chapters, I would have finished the book before the end of the month. But sometimes a chapter ends with a cliffhanger and that's when I cannot help but continue reading the next chapter to find out what will happen next. And before I knew it I would have read like one hundred pages in one night. So before I knew it I'd finish the book within three days if the book was three hundred pages long.

My reading speed depends on what kind of book I'm reading. If it is a novel or other books for entertainment, I can read hundreds of pages per day, it is one or two whole book(s). but for academic & professional books which I must understand the content profoundly, I only can read one or two chapter one day. But no matter how busy I am, I'll force myself to read a specified number of pages every day and never be interrupted.
