Can you read a 100 pages in a day?

I have a 100 pages left to read for my book club tomorrow and I am stressed out!

Easily but I'm a spead reader so my answer is very much biased.

Of course. But also your book club shouldn’t give you stress.0

Easily. But I'm an attorney and I also have a grad degree in English that required that I read about 3 books a week plus articles.

Read 20 pages per hour. Done in 5 hours.

Yes. I read about 30-50 pages an hour depending on the type of book.

Yes. I'm a scientist, I need that skill to slog through research papers, but I would much rather read fiction. Although occasionally some research reads like fiction!

Read every other page. In most books, you don’t miss much

I always read on planes and I've found I read a page a minute. I can look at how many minutes are left in the flight and know what page I'll be on when it lands.

Yes, get off DCUM now!

1. If you're stressed out by this, I'm not sure you can handle being in a book club.

2. Last time someone on DCUM had to read a few pages before a deadline, they were offended when someone asked if they had dyslexia. Do you have dyslexia? It's relevant, because there are easier ways to read with such a disability. One of them is to listen to the audiobook while you read. 100 pages before tomorrow is nothing, which is why a red flag is popping up.

An audiobook or reading out loud is about 25 pages per hour, so even if you listened to the book it would only take 4 hours. Most people read much faster than that when reading silently.

I can read a whole book in one sitting if I like it. I hate book clubs. It reminds me of being in school and someone telling me what I should read and what I should like.

Why would you want to do this? More to life

I can only do this on the weekend
