Same with me. At work, I zip through by necessity, with the speed reading techniques I learned at university decades ago.

But at home, I'm a slow reader - 30 - 35 pages an hour. I reread passages, double back, etc. I also hear the dialogue in various voices Why rush - savouring the writing is a big part of the joy for me.
