I've never timed myself but I'm probably slower than average. The actual speed will vary depending on how interesting the book is, how many distractions I have and how tired I am (the two go hand in hand; I have ADD and the more tired I am, the more easily distracted I am), how much of the book I want to retain (except for water, I have difficulty retaining things), how easy it is for me to comprehend what I'm reading (fatigue will impair comprehension), etc. I often stop to reflect on what I've just read (or sometimes just have a good cry or recover from a good laugh) so that slows me down. And frankly I don't care. I'm not on any kind of reading schedule so I'll take just however long it takes to enjoy the book.
