My friends say I'm a pretty fast reader, some even asked if I've attended speed reading classes, in which my reply to that was a big fat NO! I can finish any novel I like, especially one that I just can't put it down once I start (ignore the cliche expression) in about 3 hours depending on how many pages.
I'd roughly estimate that I read about 100 pages per hour. I remember one week in 6th grade when I read the Harry Potter series books 1-4 Monday-Thursday just during the breaks between classes and lunch time. I have to say though, that while I read fast, I'm not quick to pick up the details or remember them for that matter. *.* That's kinda bad when I have to take a test...yea. So, if it's a book I really like, I would go back to it and read it over and over again, such as Pride and Prejudice.
