448 wpm - average college student. I answered the questions correctly, and I didn't rush. But it felt like my pace for 'work' reading ( vs work skimming, which has to be much faster)
I don't see the allure of reading fast, when reading for pleasure. It's fun to savour books, pause to visualize the scene; or just enjoy a great turn of phrase. For me, when it comes to reading, less equals more.
