wow. someone obviously reads fast! LOL :). I can read about a page a minute if im completely focused and NOT on the computer. Haha.. How fast I finish the book depends on how busy I am, though.

I'm at a reading speed of about a page a minute- sometimes more, sometimes less. It just depends
I can read a page depending on the font and the size... But usually a little under a minute.
Yeah. For me, it depends on the format. If it's Kindle, I can read a page in 45 seconds. If it's an actual book that I'm holding, I usually get about a page a minute. Same with PDF files.
It just depends on the book and my surroundings
Yeah, that too. And I can read faster at night... I just can, I don't know why. >.<
I get that. I rad mostly at night. It's calming and helps me get to sleep.
Rading wakes me up, lol. :) It's calming, tho. Except when you're at the ending of the DH. That very far from calming.
Hahah, yeah, most of the time I find that books calm me, but I do come across those 'edge of your seat' books.
I love those books. they really make you think.
I agree with everything that was said lol :) except for reading waking you up. I;m the total opposite. Reading at night does help me a lot, though. That's when I get most of my reading done.
Yeah, I used to be yelled at for reading past when I was supposed to be asleep but now I'm let alone for a while before I have to be asleep.
LOL! My mom had to take my books from me the past two school years because I would stay up reading them :) Over the summer I jump for joy at the thought of being able to stay up. :)
Hahah, yeah. If I was borrowing one of my brother's books, then he used to take the book from me before I went up to my room at night and I would have to get it in the morning.
Wow. That mustve sucked LOL. Esp when they were good books!
yeah. I don't remember if he did it when I was rereading HP once the books got put in his room (where there was more room on the shelf) or not.
:)Finished my 42nd book this year yesterday! Working on #43 right now.
Yeps :) I think I'm doing a little better this year than last... Nope, just looked. Last year at the beginning of July I had read 49 books.. LOL.
Yeah that's what I said. Plus, if I read all 17 books that I want to read this month, I will be ahead of last year. So far I've only finished 2 of those books, though. haha
I get my books taken away. When I'm up to late or as punishment. How horrible is that?
oh my gosh! I'm so sorry, Natalie!!!!
Definitely horrible! My parents threaten me with taking my books away, but thats when I turn into an angel and do what they tell me. LOL.
Haahaha, yeah- threaten to take away something you really like and all of a sudden the task is complete!
right! im glad someone understands that hah :)
haha, well i put my goal at 50 and i have ready 26 so half ways there! :)
So far I have read 75 books in 2011. Just finished MOCKINGJAY so I guess it's 76 now (:PLS VOTE ON MY POLL TO HELP ME FIGURE OUT: WHICH BOOK SHOULD I READ NEXT!!!
Good job in completing your goal. Congrats to you Danna!
So far I've read 78 (I'm about to finish "The Dead and the Gone") and my goal for the year was 100...
yeah...I hit 81 yesterday...clearly I have too much time this summer!
I have a feeling that you'll complete your goal for the year, Anna.
Yes, I believe you will complete it, Anna.
Unless something very odd happens, of course.
Actually, we're very gifted at seeing into the future.
