I used to read about 35 hours a week, but these days, since I decided to refrain from taking part in the Goodreads annual challenge, I've been re reading lots of favorites.
I still read 20 hours a week. Ever since having my Kobo Glo, I've believed to have had the advantage of increasing my speed due to an astute choice of font. The fonts available in the Kobo e-readers gave me the edge to increase my speed. Nothing to write home, but still a noticeable increase.
Most of the books that I choose are not ambiguous in their language. I tried to up the ante with history books, and books about WW2, but I couldn't assimilate the myriad names, and events and places. I just couldn't do it without it becoming a chore. The next genre that I found a bit difficult is the Fantasy genre.
Whenever I read faster than usual, it's with my preferred genre, the cozy mystery. I lose fewer details than usual, and the info in those type of books sometimes are repeated throughout the books. All things considered, I don't consider myself a speedy reader. But There are a couple of 1000 paged books that I read in mere days, time allotted notwithstanding.
