I have a love/hate relationship with Pinyin, but a loathing relationship with BetaCode.

I don't know how many pages per hour I read, because the majority of my reading material is digital.

I can usually read an entire genre book, in English, in an hour. Genre books in Romance and Germanic languages take me roughly two hours to read.

It takes me at least a week to read a single volume of The Philokalia, partially becuase I tend to stop and reflect on what I'm reading.
