It's about twice as fast as the average of 300 WPM that is stated on many sites, so yes, you're fast. Maybe not as fast as some, but still faster than most.

752wpm for me with 3/3 on the questions. I theoretically could read War & Peace in 13 hours if I didn't poke my eyes out first.

However, this was me trying hard to read as fast as I could. I don't read books this way, although once I get into a book I do feel like the pages do fly by.

Ahh, there's the rub... Used to take pride in how fast I read, but after seeing some of the scores on here... well.

Well, you know how it is. If you take pride in something it usually comes back and bites you on the behind.

But I do appreciate your attempt to lift my spirits.

384 default setting. Changed font to 20px and paragraphs to 15, 900wpm.
Fonts are important

Whether the book is grilled chicken or Filet Mignon carry's weight.
