How many pages can you read an hour?

Obvs depends on the book.

Proust or James or Joyce is a heavier than Kitty Kelley or Danielle Steel.

I'm sorry. We eat them. We cannot read, anyway.

I could eat about a billion an hour, though, I am sure. But the most I ever had was a little corner once.

Do you actually digest the information you are reading? When I was in law school, I picked up a scanning technique where I could quickly find the important parts of whatever I was reading, so it went quickly. When I read for pleasure I don't really care about how fast I can read.

FFS, OP -- you're looking at too many variables when you measure like that. The size of the page, the size of the font, the size of the margins... Pages in an hour measures nothing.

The way to measure reading speed is WPM, i.e., words per minute. It's easier than ever to do that now, since Word has a word count.

The question is, why did I have to tell you that? Why didn't you know that already?

I read a lot of crap mysteries on my phone.

But I also read novels from previous centuries, also on my phone. For those I spend an inordinate length of time looking up words, what did they mean then ?

No, R4. The question is why did you think you had to tell the OP that?

The OP is not asking for a statistical analysis. The OP is too smart to trust self-reported data for quantitative purposes and was keeping it conversationally qualitative. That's admirable and appropriate even if the OP is aiming at clicks or posts for profit or pity.

I ask my question because I am a psychology researcher with a focus on some specific pathologies.

Otherwise, shoo, Miss Evelyn Wood.

R6? You're a researcher and you think like that?

Let me guess -- you're a [italic]qualitative[/italic] "researcher."

Why bother asking the question if you know the answer is going to be bullshit?

BTW, I always told you psychology types that I would have majored in psychology, but I thought it would be too easy. And every psychologist I've ever met has proven me right.
