I Read Books Too Fast Stories of Experiences

Will Grayson Will Grayson and MirrorMask took a day...

Knots and Crosses took weeks...

The Perks of Being a Wallflower took an evening and a morning...

Some Mitch Albom book took an afternoon...

So i think it depends on how...

I read so fast half of the time I forget what happened on the previous page. I only remember key information of the story. Then I spend too much money on books.

   I tend to speed read through a book.  So unless it is poorly written or so complicated that I have to read it more slowly, I usually read about 80-100 pages in an hour.  Of course size of print, quality of print, and kind of...

I get through a 300 page book in about one to one and a half hours, I don't realise that i'm reading so fast until I finish and look at the time. It's annoying because i'm only 15 years old and have to order books off amazon everyday...

I can read a book that's 300+ pages in a few hours to a day. After reading and when I think about what all happened again I always forget the main characters name oddly. I never forget the story though or little events that happened in...

My friends are all somewhat fast readers. But for me, I'm like, extra quick. When I can just read for as long as I want when I want, it only takes me two hours to read a three hundred page book. Especially if I really like the book. For...

i can read books in like an hour and im 13..maybe i just feel smartr than kids my age because the kids at my skool r stupid....but i read Wuthering Heights in a day.....

Is there anyone who has measured his reading speed ?
I know that normal people read about 300 words per minute but there are higher speeds
I don't consider myself a speed reader but I'd like to be ,

I read breaking dawn in one day.
 

Remember when you were in school and were required to read a book from a list.  You would go and find the book with the least amount of pages so that you could get through it faster.
Now when I go to get a book to read.  I...

Whelp, I've done it again! Tortured myself by eagerly devouring a book, that I promised to read slowly and savor the simmering plot to reach its climatic "Happily Ever After". Devour, devour, turn the page... devour...

I go through books at a rate of knots. And the downside is that I am always spending a fortune in book shops. Libraries dont work cause they tend to have crap books for a start and I never return the books on time. So now I buy. I tend...

It honestly took me under 10 hours to read the last Harry Potter book, I was so fast I had to reread it slower because I'd missed out some of the details. When I read The Da Vinci Code, it took me about a day, again, I missed some...

It's quite annoying, I'm always sad when I finish a book that I've enjoyed reading so much. I read The Da Vinci Code in three days, I was hooked on it and just couldn't put it down. I find it hard to find books that interest me, some...

I have a tradition each year that I read my favourite series that is made up of 7 books, so I guess it's a good that I read fast but then I get sad when I get to the end of it.

and then I never remember anything because i just read over everything..

I love reading, but I tend to read books too quickly. If a book is around 200 pages or less , I will likely finish it in one sitting. There are a lot of good books in that range. Now a 800+ page book, that I can look forward to because...
