How Many Pages Can U Read In An Hr

[Curley]

True. Thats when people can't accept other peoples opinions and views though, and they feel the need to get personal and start flaming.

A good example of which would be the Bible.

Interpretation and comprehension are two different things. Could you have picked a worse example? Only the bible has been misinterpreted more over the last 2000 years.

But anyway, I&#39;m not calling any of you liars, I&#39;m just trying to say that your numbers seem inflated. One person, can&#39;t remember who, was saying that they can re-read a book faster the second time. Ya think? I wouldn&#39;t expect your time to be slower. [/b][/quote]

I didn&#39;t mention interpretation in my post. I meant understanding/comprehension. I think it was a perfect example, people have misunderstood the Bible and misinterpretted it. You are right. As for the re-reading books - definately quicker for me&#33;&#33;

I had the same problem with my girlfriend... That&#39;s why she left&#33;

Just one question: are numbers really so important? Is Bookworld turning into some kind of "who&#39;s got the bigger one" contest?
That&#39;s actually two question, I know, but I don&#39;t really see the point of all this...

I don&#39;t know.

I don&#39;t count pages when I read.

Nope you&#39;re right, numbers arent important. All that is, is that we all enjoy sitting down with a good read. And I dont think this is any kind of contest, I just think its a friendly thread to find out more about our fellow bookworlders.

Never really thought about it too much..............hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............lets see now.......................100 or so if speed reading..............I suppose.............................much less if its boring..................and if skimming the cream off the top......several books.... (cos U only need the intro and the conclusion plus chapter headings and the first 2 paragraphs.....if its a non-technical text book)

Having said that, if reading for editing and content purposes before submission (like something I have written) then I may spend several hours on 25 pages.

So I would say it rather depends on the context, its dullness level and how important it is.
