Ooooh, records.

Well, let's see. I read 600 pages in about 24 hours, two weeks ago... the first two or so Hornblower books, starting 1am Friday morning (hehe) and finished about 1am Saturday morning (obviously I didn't read straight through, heh ) I probably read for about 6 hours total, or so. I think I average, in those books anyways, about 100 pages every 40-50 minutes, but some of them are "harder" to get through than others.

Eh, speed-reading is overrated, it takes a lot of concentration to actually read really quickly, for me... forcing myself to read faster than I would normally, it's mentally stressful, hehe. (about 1400wpm was my fastest timed reading in high school)
