Maybe seeing some ADE page-based numbers would help me. It's very possible that the elusive term "book" is what's skewing my perspective.
Don't worry. If it turns out that I'm just a terribly slow reader after all, I'm not going to lose much sleep over it.  |
If those figures are accurate, it does sound as if you're a slow reader (and that's absolutely not a bad thing, let me hasten to add!). 2.5h a day is 17.5h a week. If we consider that an average novel can be read out loud (ie as an audiobook) in about 10h, the fact that you're not reading a book a week in 17.5h suggests that you're reading considerably more slowly than you'd read a book aloud. Vocalising a book generally slows down reading, but in your case perhaps it might speed it up?
