So how fast DO you read?

As previously advertised, I'm a slow reader.  How about you?

I read, it says here, 443 words per minute, 77% faster than the national average. If I could maintain that pace, and not let my attention get caught by Teh Shiny, I could read The Lord of the Rings in 18 hours.

I'm with you. I've just finished my first pass through Foreigner 13, and I'll be going back to pick up nuance and revel in spending time with all my favorite characters.

See, now? The Foreigner books are so dense, I can't for the life of me even conceive how one can be read "for story" or in a "first pass" that skips the nuance.

Intruder arrived here yesterday, and it'll sit on the Mencken Table until I have enough time to give it the attention it's going to need.
