The reading speed test I just took said I read around 200 WPM (not skimming). I've never been a fan of speed reading since (for me at least) it decreases retention and shortens the time I can enjoy a book. While I always enjoy re-reading a beloved book, I never get the same enjoyment I had the first time through. And no matter how anxious I am to find out the conclusion, there is always the moment of slight disappointment when I do finish.
