Reading test Probably not in anyway scientific but apparently I could read the whole Game of Throne collection in 69 days if reading an hour a day with a reading speed of 433 words a minute.

I read really slowly, but I read every day so I get through books at about the same speed as a half-arsed, quick reading person lol.

216 days, I'm a slow reader and don't read too often, but when I choose to read I will read all day bone stop.

Having children really slows down or totally prevents my reading. I used to be able to bash one out in a day and a bit - my eyes get tired after too many hours (also when I read on holiday I like to drink beer which slows reading down due to the drinking and replenishing ,....;) ).

I'm exactly the same, children within earshot or too late in the evening diminishes my speed to BRAKE speed limits... hardly worth picking up a book.

I've recently started reading on business flights, and hotels whilst away, suddenly I can read again!
