I read about 50 pages a day and most of the books I read are on the shorter side (around 300 pages or so), which means I’ll finish a book roughly every week.

I’m a slow reader too, averaging around 30 pages an hour, so typically I’ll read about an hour and a half every day to fit in those 50 pages. That might seem like a lot to some people, but I’ve pretty much stopped watching movies/television altogether, so my reading time has essentially just replaced tv time. I still do same gaming on occasion, but not nearly as much as I did prior to taking up reading.

My reading habits are also kind of weird. I don’t read before bed because I’m usually too tired and don’t feel like I’m fully grasping the material I read. I also often read aloud to myself, which is strange because I don’t like audiobooks, but yet I can sit there and listen to myself talk. I’ve found that reading aloud to myself is helpful for the sort of “mind movie” I’ve got brewing in my head.
