OK, random reading speed test thingy that ladytabitha posted a link to.

43 seconds for the first... (reading at light fiction speed, although still reading every word. Gods, that was a boring story! Entirely too many details about the house!)

700 - 750 w/m for the second, reading at non-scientific textbook speed.

And I don't know how much the fact that I'm exhausted and not reading a paper book affects those. I read faster when I'm not tired, and I _think_ I read faster when reading on paper rather than a computer screen.

Neat!

You read quickly. I read a lot (mostly on computers, without much continuity... that is, I haven't read an entire book in a long tie), and I've always had the sneakins suspicion that I read somewhat slowly. When I push, I can read every word at 400-450, but unless I concentrate hard, I lapse into 200wpm reading, which is only three times as fast as I can type in the first place.
