How Fast Do You Read?
This is easy to find out, take a book find words per line, lines per page, do some multiplication to find out how many words per page there are. Read for a few minutes, find out how far you got and how many words per minute (WPM) you read. Average is about 250 WPM I think.
I read about 350 less when I'm not concentrating, maybe more like 450 when I'm really in the zone (don't lose any comprehension when I'm into a book and reading faster).

Re: How Fast Do You Read?
took me about 15 seconds to read this post if that helps.
not sure how to easily know the number of words on a page in a book without actually counting them out... am i missing something ? edit: nevermind i see you're assuming the amount of words per line is the same every line. gotcha.

Test yourself here... EyeQ I thought this Infomercial was BS, then we used this program in my Educational Psychology class in college. I was amazed at how much my reading speed and retention improved. Big Steve
