I can.
I once started a James Patterson book at 5 am when my husband went in for knee surgery and at 4 pm when he was discharged I finished it. I left it at the nurse's station for someone else to enjoy. When I was in jr. high I took a speed reading class and learned tricks to help read faster yet still retain what was written.

Of course. I read faster than I listen (even sped up) so audio wouldn't work if I needed it finished quickly.

I want to know the book, too!

I would say it depends on reading level and what else I have going on. And time of day. If I went to a coffee shop in the morning with a very readable book, I'd blast through 100 pages pretty fast. But I usually read before bed and am asleep within 10 pages.

I read 50 pages an hour, but I probably read faster than most. You got this!

It depends on what else is going on and how interested I am in the book. If it’s a boring book and I can’t sit down for any extended period of time until after bedtime, no. If the kids are busy and I’m interested in the book, yes.

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.


I don’t have dyslexia and I think 100 pages before tomorrow morning is not nothing. (Also I’m a lawyer). Some of us are slow readers.


Even Book Club books? We're not talking legal briefs here. I go really slowly when I read a technical paper for my work - I have to. Every sentence is loaded and tricky. But for the average fiction, I go much faster.

You don't listen to it normal speed, newbie.

If you can get ahold of the audio book, you can ramp up the speed.

I read about 1.5 pages a minute so that would take me a little over an hour. But that is only if I really like the book. Otherwise it would be a longer trudge.
