What type of reader are you?

if i find a good book i can finish it soon, say if it is 300 pages i will read it in 4-5 days. and if i read and know that the book will give me nothing then i will say bye bye to the book. one book i readwas very good, it was called the taj by t.n. murari, i love to read things that enrich my personality and mekes me feel positive about life. lots of love, apple.

I guess I would be a fast reader. Most things I read in 3 days or less unless I find it a little boring or slow. I've been reading "Into The Wild" for about a week and it's only a couple hundred pages. Part of that is a lack of time. Another part is the way it's written. I want to read it, which is why I haven't given up on it, but the writing style makes it not flow as well as I'd like. Fiction I tend to read faster, especially stuff I find exciting. The more exciting/interesting it is, the faster my brain processes it, I guess.

I am only a casual reader. However, if I come across a novel which can captivate me, lol. I would put everything aside and finish it in one breath. Perhaps a bit exagerrating, but I go only for story. Forgoing sleep is common in such a case. Luckily, it does not happen often as I only read upon recommendation.

we have the same preferences i love to watch movie than read. i hate pocket books because they are always bulky and because i have migraine that's why i dont stay long reading. although, iread i only read books related to my course like pharmacology books and other health related books.

I read fast (mind you inglish is my second language) I love reading and read about 200 books a year. a good book that has 400-500 pages would take me at most 2 days, a bad book (i dont like not finishing a book no mater how bad it is) of 400-500 pages would take me a week.

I am usually a fast reader. I finish a book of 300 pages. There is no way to think I skip any sentence page or chanter. I havent practiced any technic of fast reading. I am just usual on it. I think it is not actually impossible. Scientifically, It is not impossible beacuse our brain can process 700-800 words in a minute.

I haven't had the time to read a good novel for such a long time now. I wished I had. Now life has been so busy and I can't spare some time to read. However during my studying years I have spent so many hours reading many good novels. The usual time I spent to finish one novel with 400-500 pages is approximately one week. Every day I will spare about two to three hours straight just for the purpose of reading. I can never finish a novel within one day. I have a friend who can do it, but I observe that she only did skim-reading. To me skim-reading is no enjoyment at all. How can a person read a good novel just to get the overall idea of the story? This method is only logic for examination purposes, but not for leisure reading. Lol.

Yes friend, but at times, its not how fast they read or understand, but because of the time they spend. I also like spending my time to read books that are interesting. It depends on the time you offer to read them. Thanks

I hardly ever watch TV but instead of simply reading, I devour the written word. When as a school child we were assigned to read 5 books over the summer, I would always read at least 50. One time when I was in 4th grade and had gotten 1/3 of the way through Dante's Inferno, the librarian caught me and tried to take the book away, encouraging me to read a book more appropriate to my grade level. I solemnly informed her that books suitable to my grade level did not approach my intellectual capacity. She said, "OK, read whatever you want, dear." It was a good thing, too, because I had already read every single 4th grade book several times over while still in first grade. By, the way, if you are interested in improving your reading speed and comprehension, you can do so at any time. The internet has many free and some paid resources that can help you. Here is a fun link where you can take a free reading and comprehension test: http://www.readingsoft.com I found some other very good links just by Googling with the keywords "reading speed and comprehension" and so far, this is my favorite: http://www.reachoutmichigan.org/learn/suggest.html Good luck!

Hello ifinallyfoundmybaby, I am an avid reader. I love to read books. I don't like people to disturb me whenever I read. When I go on 'crazy reading', I don't do anything else except trying hard to finish the book. Normally if I do that, I can just finish a book in 2-3 days. Once done, I feel GLAD. It is like achieving a great thing in life.

It depends on my mood. If I read a book that I enjoy it will probably take me 3-4 weeks. I consider myself a slow reader.

It really depends on the book I'm reading, and how motivated I am. If its a really good book I can usually finish it in a few days, like I did with the new Harry Potter book for example. But if its bad, like the Catwoman movie novel, it usually takes me a long time. On average I can read a book in about three days if I don't get distracted, a week if I do get distracted.
