I'm guessing that I have an average reading speed. I too am shocked at how quickly some people can read, but then again I seem to put away a lot of books during a year.
I like reading the Y/A books -- Twilight, Vampire Acadamy, Harry Potter, etcetera. One of these kinds of books with around 700 pages takes me 2-3 days to finish. Right now I'm reading The Stand by King and after 4 days or reading I'm only about 20% through it. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand took me 2 or 3 weeks to read. To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf and The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner both took me forever to read (probably because I didn't care for them).
