What speed do YOU read?

I saw this neat idea at Good Golly Miss Holly's lovely book blog and thought I might share this thing with you guys. :)


 Have you ever wondered how fast you could read? I sure did! I was just looking about Holly's blog and I came across this interesting little post and couldn't help but take the quiz myself! ...And the results are in:

I read 550 words per minute, making me 120% faster than the national average. 

That's honestly...a bit crazy lol. I used to be an incredibly slow reader before I started this book blog. Heck even a few months ago, I was a slow reader! I'm really glad that I can read faster now hehe. :)

If I maintained this reading speed, I could probably finish:

  • Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in 2 hours and 20 minutes
  • A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens in 4 hours and 6 minutes
  • Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll in 48 minutes
  • The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien in 14 hours and 30 minutes
I could also probably read 7 books on my Kindle Keyboard assuming the average book length is 136,604 words.


So, guys, go take the test for yourself! :D Click on the e-reader below and staart~ Be sure to come back here and leave your results in the comments. :) I want to know what you guys get!
