What pace do you read at, /lit/?
>>24953013Depends entirely on the book. Simple books like YA stuff I can read like 50 pages in an hour. More standard books around 40. Older, more dense books around 30.
>>24953013half the speed native speakers read, and roughly around audiobook pace, me esl me subvocalizing and me like rhythm and flow

>>24953091you don't get it, this slop website I vibecoded in 30 minutes is a huge breakthrough
>>24953013Why would I use this? Are people seriously this ADHD?
>>24953176Yes. This is what happens when kids who were raised on TV and video games try to get into reading later in life. They have to gamify it and employ tools to measure their progress or they can't focus on it.
>>24953182Thank god I was growing up in the late 90s and 2000s and often spent time in countryside.
1 page every 2 minutes
>>24953207Even kids in that era were ruined by too much TV and video games. I grew up in the 1990s, but we didn't have cable or satellite TV until I was 12, and I never played a video game until I was in middle school. I was reading before I could walk, and loved drawing and building things with legos and kinex sets, which progressed to making models and woodworking when I got older. Most kids my own generation did not have a childhood like that.
>>24953249I´d like to believe it was not that rare. Maybe I was just lucky.
>>24953013I kept track of my reading pace for a couple months. During that time I averaged about 35 pages an hour. That can change quite a bit based on the density of the reading material and the page layout. Right now I'm flying through the Seamus Heaney translation of Beowulf because even though it's over 200 pages, half of them are in Old English and the modern English pages are printed in a verse arrangement. Probably getting through a page every 45 seconds or so.
>>24953249Based anon
>>24953249I mean, I grew up in the same time period with tons of time spent watching TV and playing video games on the PS1/GBA, and still read shitloads. I think it helped that my parents were pretty encouraging about it and read books like Harry Potter, Narnia, and the Hobbit to me when I was younger. Parents nowadays just give their kids a tablet and want them to leave them the fuck alone.
