Reading Pace?

[Rushali, Head Mod]

What is your reading pace? How many chapters/pages you complete in one sitting?

Tell us here!

1. Depends on my mood.
2. Depends on the book in question.

1 - Happy -150 pages?
- Bored - 70 pages?
- Metro Transit Journey = Around 60 pages
- IDK - 10 pages
- Angry - 5 pages

2 - Awesome book, tripping storyline = Obviously the full book....
Hmm Interesting, will check it later = around 40%
Mehh, I am getting bored, 30% ish or maybe lesser.
Ugh! What is this crap novel? 10%, stupid author, [gender neutral] should be banned from writing ever!!

You really have an idea about how you read! That's a great way to classify.

I read an average of 50 pages a day

I don't really have a reading pace. I mean I'm more of a slow reader (hate it but it is what it is), though sometimes I get to read a 300 page book in a day (being a slow reader!). How do I do it? I wish I knew. I guess it depends on the book and the language, sometimes I read faster than other times.

I'm a slow reader, but I don't hate it. I think my brain absorbs the information better and holds onto it longer.

My reading pace varies. I know at max I can hit 150 pages an hour if totally left alone. I've been off my reading game for a while so I haven't been reading as much. But if the right book triggers me I can eat it up in a day still.

It really depends, if I am really enjoying the book, I could read a bunch, and if not, then would usually not read much, like maybe one chapter or something.

Depends on my mood and the quality of the book. If I'm in a good mood then I finish 3.5-5 star reads in 1-3 sittings (3-4 hours total, if the book is around 300 pages, I guess..) If the book drags and I'm bored (usually 1-3 star reads) I take an entire day, or two. Sometimes if the book is long and boring, I read 2-3 books at a time and finish the 'boring book' in 3-5 days...

But usually I take 2-3 sittings.

[Ana]

I'm a fast reader, I usually finish a 300 page book in 1-2 sittings. But if I'm not enjoying much the book I turn into a very slow reader, it takes 6 months for me to finally finish or I just keep postponing to read other (more interesting) books.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Wow! Ana! I'm so jealous!!!

Ok.. speaking monthly, generally 11. Baki, depends on page count, mood, challenges, availability and my parents (My parents have problem with me reading books, let alone being a writer, and that can go up and down every month)

[Unknown]

Depends on the book , of course. If the book is too good, then I’m probably not gonna leave the book for more than a minute. If the book is horrible …I’m still not gonna leave the book because I want to finish the book fast and move on

For mediocre book, I’ll say around 100 pages in one sitting ? Depends on the mood though
