My reading speed is exactly 30 pages in 60 minutes, so I take 10 hours to read a 300 page book. Caveat: This is with my own custom setting for page counts in calibre, and therefore every 300 page book is exactly the same length as any other 300 page book.
However, when reading someone like Tad Williams's Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, where he sticks names like
J'ao E'Tuni'kai'i throughout the story (and then, 500 of them), it does tend to drop my reading speed.
PS: I actually dislike this. Just call the city Jao Etuni Kai or something, so my eye doesn't catch on the apostrophes as if they're thorns. It saves me a lot of sorrow and memory.
