What’s the most amount of pages you’ve read in a single day?
>>
40
>>
>>25331121
I don't read
>>
Might have been 500 yesterday. Or 300 the day before and 200 the day before that.

The vast majority was not very good and I was speedreading as a moderately careless supplement to other things.
>>
>>25331121
Probably between 100 or 150, but I've only read so much when I am on a deadline, or when I am enjoying a book too much to leave it aside. On average I read 30 or 40 pages a day.
>>
>>25331121
if you are counting pages, you may as well not be reading at all
>>
>>25331121
528 pages. An entire book. I started in the early morning hours and finished around maybe eight o' clock at night on the same day. It was The Garden of Rama, it was fucking awful and I regret doing it.

Half of picrel. Finished it in 2 days.
>>
>>25331121
56 of monte cristo
200+ of don quixote
>>
I've read Anna Karenina in two days once, at 18-19 years old. But I had drugs, something that made me really focused (I didn't take the drugs just to read Anna Karenina though, which in retrospect feels like a missed opportunity).
>>
>>25331659
Just say you were on Ritalin
>>
Bout tree fiddy
>>
>>25331660
Actually it's alcohol
>>
>>25331121
I read Brisingr in a day when I was 11 or 12, so 831 apparently. I felt like I had a fever afterwards, it took me all day. It was fucking DOGSHIT in retrospect by the way, that whole series is garbage even for YA.
>>
>>25331626
Rama starts out strong but goes straight down the fucking toilet when Nicole Desjardins becomes the main character.

I suspect it's Gentry Lee's fault, no idea really. Clearly ONE of them had a cuckold fetish.
>>
>>25331121
Probably my professors 2-3 essays on religious topics was around 150-200 pages. Took all day. I had to write a paper that same evening the goth barista thought I was so whacked apparently because she jumped onto a bench next to me to walk upstairs. I a got her number out but she didn’t respond to me :-(

>>25331121
society of the spectacle in one go while making shitty notes on all sides of an deconstructed envelope
although i might have done more on a long/delayed flight
>>
>>25331121
3 but I didn't remember as much as usual, I think 2 is probably my comfortable max, maybe 2.5 if it's manga
>>
I read East of Eden in one sitting when I was a teenager on summer break.
>>
I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in one day
>>
I read the Count of Monte Cristo audiobook in one day.
>>
>>25331121
1000
>>
>>25331121
I don't count
>>
>>25331121
270, Enders Game
250ish Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy

200 pages on average when i was unemployed, now I barely do 20 to 30 pages while employed and working on chores.
>>
Read Notes From The Underground and Brave New World in 1 day
>>
I read Moby Dick during the marathon this january. I don’t remember the specific number of pages my copy had.
>>
>>25331121
Idk maybe like 10 lol.
>>
>>25335938
Pretty much. Concentrating is a bitch for me but at least I finish books.
>>
>>25331121
I read the entire Demonata series by Darren Shan in a single night when I was like 14. Each book was between 200-300 pages, so at 10 books it’d be like 2000-3000 pages
>>
I don't keep track of such things.
>>
Like 300
>>
>>25331121
about 200 but with images and blank spaces
>>
>>25331121
I'm reading Dracula for the first time and I barely broke 100 pages after reading it for 6 days

Am I stupid?
>>
>>25338317
Maybe you just don't like it?
>>
>>25338317
if youre gen z & unexperienced with reading full books dont get discouraged and keep reading. your brain just needs practice to unrape itself
>>
>>25331121
700. Back when I had free time.
>>
>>25331121
I’ve read the first 250 pages of Ulysses in one sitting twice and never finished it.
>>
Probably 30 pages. Reading is hard. I hate myself because if it was a reddit or 4chan post then I would spend hours reading.
>>
I'm developing this Howard Hughes-esque OCD where I need to read 2 pages of every book I own a day, in order of their positions on the bookshelf. Whenever a word or item or event is shown on the book that I find specifically interesting, I note it down and look it up on my phone or computer for later.
>>
>>25331121
I remember reading Orwell's 1984 in a day but it was long time ago, nowadays I read maybe 30 pages a day
>>
>>25338323
No, I really like it

>>25338325
I'm 35

You can spend all day reading meaningless slop online because it's easy. Reading a book actually requires you to think so don't be too hard on yourself.

like 800 pages of webnovel sloppa
>>
>>25338317
That is 16 pages a day. 20 pages per day is fairly common for most. I rarely read more than that and the times when I have read more it was either on long trips, when I am reading multiple books or I just really liked the book.
>>
>>25339229
Anons who talk about having wives and girlfriends on anonymous imageboards.

It's just the opposite of another image.
