When I was studying for my qualifying exams I had to get through an average of 3 academic books per day. It's pretty ridiculous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098445 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:46:45 +0000 lamariniere 1098445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098435 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:45:30 +0000 jhd 1098435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>fast, trouble is finding enough time to read! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098430 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:44:23 +0000 Sunderling 1098430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty fast. I only read on public transit nowadays, so I usually go through 1 or 2 books a week. A few years ago I went through something like 7 or 8 just during the time I spent in the hotel on a 2 week vacation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098405 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:39:44 +0000 MaisyMay 1098405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: Loved leaving when tests were done. They let me leave the SAT's early because I was done and not feeling well (don't think they were supposed to, but whatever). Most of the time whomever was giving tests would let me read when I finished. The one I hated was the tests where I had to just sit and wait when done. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098390 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:37:31 +0000 GrapeCrush 1098390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More in the middle. I'm not slow, but not super fast either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098372 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:33:44 +0000 Bookish 1098372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: Haha right? I would always be the first person done with things, and I ended up just sitting there for aaages so I wasn't always the first person to turn it in. I got over that in college when I could leave class when I was done with tests! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098365 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:33:04 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1098365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098358 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:31:43 +0000 MaisyMay 1098358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: I love how similar you and I are in reading! I would always get "Go back and double-check your work" on standardized tests. "I already did!" wasn't a very well-received answer. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098338 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:28:46 +0000 mrsjazz 1098338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fast. I usually finish an average-length book in a day. I have done that way too much with LO--it's like I forget that she doesn't care if I stayed up reading all night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098301 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:21:35 +0000 lovehoneybee 1098301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fast, but since E was born I usually only read in the tub so it takes longer to finish a book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098291 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:20:28 +0000 T-Mom 1098291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: hm yeah huh? Maybe I'll try that when the weather cools down, wouldn't really be able to do that at my desk. I always have an agenda for my lunch time though... That's when I take care of all my errands! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098264 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:16:33 +0000 regberadaisy 1098264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: lunch time??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098261 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:16:20 +0000 Ginabean3 1098261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FAST! I'm speedy......before e-readers I would always have to take multiple books with me on vacation because I would plow through them so fast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098259 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:15:58 +0000 T-Mom 1098259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well when I actually get to reading, I'm really fast. My DH always complains that I'm moving through too quickly if we are reading something on a computer screen. But I've gotten terrible at finishing books. Just don't have good chunks of time to sit down and read. Wish I had a bus ride or something like that to read! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098258 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:15:55 +0000 Marfi 1098258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have time to sit and read any more but I used to be a fast reader. Now audible is my best friend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098255 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:15:00 +0000 Bookish 1098255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I know, surprise right? hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098252 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:14:36 +0000 Bao 1098252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty fast if I actually sit down and read it. These days, my time is so broken up with having a LO that it takes a lot longer to get through a book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098250 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:14:22 +0000 regberadaisy 1098250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: you don't say. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098246 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:13:37 +0000 Bookish 1098246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crazy fast. I would get in trouble for finishing things too fast in class (the teacher didn't believe I was done, and would get annoyed!). I'm a big ole bookworm :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-fast-or-slow-reader#post-1098238 Thu, 19 Sep 2013 14:12:23 +0000 regberadaisy 1098238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a fast reader! But these days it takes me at least a week to finish a book because I only have time on the train ride to and from work. </p>
