According to the test I read at 488 wpm with 91% comprehension. Which quite frankly is bollocks - I can read at that speed with that comprehension rate when I am doing a test, but I hardly ever would read at that speed in real life. On most occasions the purpose of reading is not to get to the end as soon as possible - that makes as much sense as playing a piece of music fast so it doesn't take as long to listen to - rather the purpose is to be guided in constructing a story world by the skill of the author. That takes the time it takes - a good author will actually manipulate the speed at which you read different sections of a book, without such variation we would soon become bored.
