I’m mostly being facetious, I love to read, but I tend to read a lot of nonfiction shit like Chomsky or Stephen Kinzer. I’m not worried that I’m dumb, I am a little shook about the idea of finishing a book in 2 hours though honestly.
Ime most people who report to read very fast tend to absord less information. They also seem to spend less time picking apart the details and mulling them over. For me a big part of reading isn’t really reading but thinking in-between moments of reading
Yeah, my dyslexia makes sure I read slowly, but my reading comprehension always tested perfectly. Although my ADHD can have me zoning out and reading the same word, line, paragraph, or even page, multiple times…
Who the fuck is reading a whole book in 2 hours??? Is this normal? Am I dumb? I feel very threatened
I can read a whole coloring book in 4 hours.
That’s about my average, but I’m hyperlexic.
I can knock out Fun with Dick and Jane in 30 minutes flat. So, extrapolate as you will from there. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Academically, that’s called “reading diagonally”
Ah so that’s what Harry Potter was trying to do that time
Who the fuck drinks coffee for 58 minutes?
If I forget about it, it can take all day to finish a cup.
I drink my two cups from the time it finishes brewing until lunch
I have a double-walled cafetiere and a double-walled mug that combine to make a very pleasant slow coffee experience
Till that “cafetière” is another word for French Press.
A cafetière is more of a coffee machine with a big bool like that (at least in my part of France):
My coworkers start drinking coffee at 8 am and don’t seem to stop until 1pm…
Depends on book, how absorbed you are, how much time you have to put aside, etc.
Everyone does everything at their own pace, don’t feel threatened. That’s a mug’s game

Depends on the book
Even like the oxford short introduction series books usually take me closer to 3
