I once decided to start a book with about 770 pages of small script and read it through in a day even while looking up the fantasy language words in it while reading so that I could better understand it. Nowadays I mostly read online and switch more often between stories. On a good day where I have time I think I probably read about 100k words (can’t guess it that well, probably also more) but even on bad days with little time I think I usually read about 50k words xD
I’m the friend who is reading 5 series at the same time, finishes 16 books in a trimester (I’m in middle school) and then tells about the characters and plot to all my non-reader friends😅
Met a speed reader who flipped through my book like how people do when they’re board at times Man literally told me several things that happened while staring me dead in the face and told me he has “never heard of The Lord of The Rings” And had absolutely no clue what it was about
I go through atleast 10 different thick chapter books a day 😈💅🏻 I read the Harry Potter and lord of the rings series in one week on my first read for both series
I’m a super fast reader and the idea of not being able to finish a book within a day is baffling to me. It’s only four hours usually. Likely closer to two. Unless I’m reading Moby Dick or something. Even then, usually only takes a few days now. Used to take me longer. Seriously, how long does it take most people to read books? More I hear about how other people read, the more I feel like I’m missing something.
I'm the exact opposite, I've been going everywhere with the same book in hand for the last two months but reading 3 books a week on average (5 or more if they're short stories)
Nooo cuz why is this literally me? Whenever exams come around my brain can't focus on anything but reading and vacation time is like ewww who reads not me
I am a teenager and read that amount every week. I've read literally every book in my school library, even the ones that didn't interest me. I've read over half of the books at me public library and am have over one hundred books at home that I've read

Unfortunately I have to work full time at my family farm, do chores at my own house, homework, manage everything I'm involved in FFA wise, take care of all my bank account things, and make sure I babysit enough on my days off so I have money for gas cause I don't get paid to work on the farm. I only get to read so much cause I stay up really late and get maybe 5 hours of sleep
Same! That’s actually why I don’t read that often anymore. If I can’t commit an entire day or weekend straight to the hyper focus I can’t even start. Trying to read just a chapter here and there is so torturous!
When I was unemployed and used reading (amongst other things) as escapism, I went through a book a day. Ahh, good times. Now I work and I'm so tired all the time I barely get to read MAYBE 5-10 books a year... I don't think I can even consider myself a reader, it's such a drastic shift 🙁
I went through a phase like that; twas sad. Thankfully, when I started working in lawn care at a place that gives multiple lengthy breaks, and when I simultaneously found Wingfeather, my inner bibliophile was able to reawaken! Unfortunately, I am currently in the state of wanting more Wingfeather, but facing the fact that that series is finished.....
@@olimar7647 That is the dream job then😂 Count yourself lucky, buddy, with feeling adrift because a beloved series is over. I recently started reading the second and third book of a series I liked (the series was only OK, but I was in love with the characters) the first book of when I read it, a couple of years ago. After falling in love with the characters again, even more so than then maybe, since I got to know them better, I went to buy the fourth and...ta-da! The author retired and the series is officially left for dead. Talk about feeling adrift T_T
@samevans1289 Oof! That's rough. That happened to me with the *Swipe* series. Guy left us on a cliffhanger after the 4th book, and not the sort of cliffhanger that works for the end of a story; moreso the kind that leads into the final and climatic book.... And yeah, it's a nice job! I wish it wasn't such an early morning, and I'll probably have to get another job in time for better pay, but for my current spot in life, 'tis good, honest work
I actually can't stop if I am reading a book. I almost always end up completing it in a day (Like binge watching series? but better.) But due to this habit I have stopped myself from reading as i often forget I need to do other things too 😭😭
This is why I listen to audiobooks. It doesn't work for everyone, but I can do other things (cook, exercise, drive, walk the dog, etc) while listening to a book.
I love getting completely engrossed in a book! Blake Crouch books are perfect for that. Also the Green Bone Saga (Jade City trilogy) by Fonda Lee and the Founders trilogy by Robert Jackson Bennett are some other favorites I read this year.
My trick is to have a set of time when I have to do chores. Shopping groceries 1xweek for 20mins. Deep house cleaning once a week on saturday for 2 hours. Laundry 1xweek. Cooking meal 1 hour a day for 2~3 meal time. So other than those times, I could dedicate those times to binge reading or binge watching. And I don't feel gulity cause I have finished my responsibilities first. But I'm single....so it's achievable. 😂
When I was 13, I was given the first three Harry Potter books for Christmas (sheltered homeschool life 😂) I had them all read before lunch. It remains one of my proudest achievements 😊
That's incredible. I once read the entire series within 2 weeks, but it wasn't very satisfying. What I mean by that is, I read it so fast that I didn't really get the chance to enjoy it, and I barely remember it. The only reason I did it was bc I challenged myself to finish it in winter break, which here lasts 2 weeks.
I mean, I got the entire Harry Potter book set as a birthday gift, and my dad didn't want ne reading any of it and told me I'd have to return it. So I read all seven books, at night, in about a week. And then had to give them back to the family who gave me it because I didn't want to lose the set.
@@Coolkrobird eh, it was my dad, if I had my way I'd have kept the set, it was a really good set too. Like it was the one that was a chest with a plastic clasp for keeping it closed and some stickers as well, like- I knew it was a pretty good gift, expensive, and to return that because my dad didn't like it? Like, I wanted to read it- hello?
The trick is to read multiple books at once. I usually have one fiction and one non-fiction. Best if they're different lengths as well. You get full of one, you move to the other. You finish one, it spurs you to finish the other and start another. I also find that choice paralysis is weakened when you know you have another book going and there is less shame when putting a book down because you're just picking up the other like planned.
So do you find you retain most of the plot? or that you get the value from reading simultaneously just the same as reading just one book from start to finish?
@@iosifcosminlazar3106 books on tape and no sleep.

@@cinemaatrium3863 I never said I absorb everything I read. 75% of the books I read are fluff, enjoyable, escapism. I get lost in the story, and when I close the covers as I read the last sentence, details are put aside for a general feeling of “kick ass author, with at least a 90% editor.” (Bad editing makes me drop a book after the 5th missed error, regardless of how good the story is.) I love reading books that are part of a story universe, but have to refresh my memory in each book of the characters. Bottom line, reading for me, is one of my happy places. For my daily books, I don’t read books where I have to skip parts because they are boring or I find the content thick or I have to slow my pace to absorb whats going on so I know what’s going on later. I read books with lots of witty, clever dialogue, fun dialogue, and happy story lines (life outside of books is messed up enough that I don’t want anything too messy in my moments I escape from it). That isn’t to say that avoid all conflict in books the other 25% of my reading slows me down greatly because I am invested in the story/topic, and the writing is more dense. Don’t judge profuse readers by whether they can retain details from every book. Celebrate them because they find joy in so many different books. Independently published authors need us to find and celebrate them. Casual readers will never give them the traction they need.
Being a fast reader and an insomniac helps. I used to be able to go through a few books every week like that before college. Now, I'm lucky if I get through one in a month lol
For those of us who go through our entire collection of books 3 times in less than 6 months, fall in love with 8 different characters, all the while getting the plots, tropes, and story lines mixed up causing it all to get jumbled up into a singular drama story because you are simply try to escape your life!!!
Mine too! I would leave with an armful of books and be back with them by the end of the week. I would read 5 books a week on average but I could read up to 9.
@@leviathan1140 what makes it funnier is I’m legally blind, use a white cane kinda legally blind so it was this short scrawny albino girl with a cane in one hand and a pile of books in the other
Yeah, I would max out the number of books I could get in the morning before school, then drop them all off the next morning. Now, I have neither the attention span nor the trauma to escape from, so I'll go through an audiobook or 2 a day, 2-3 days a week.
If you read on all your work breaks, read instead of watch TV, and listen to audiobooks while walking/driving/chores etc you can get a lot of reading done. I also bring a book with me wherever I go, in case there is down/waiting time (like car service etc). I still have to work and I have other hobbies like videos and art projects (and love chonky books too) so I can't read a book a day everyday, but typically read 2-3 books a week depending on their length. There are just so many good books out there.. I wish I could read 'em all! 😅
In middle and high school I remember checking out several books each week from the library. Once I discovered manga I started checking out the limit I could carry every time, and using my belt buckle to prop the tall pile on in my arms. Somehow I kept all the story lines straight, despite reading (at minimum) three series' at a time! Yup, I'm the freak of nature! 😅
Meeeeee!! My school library had a 3 book limit and I'd be there dailyy. Then I figured out that the public library had a 30 book limit AND had whole collections of manga series (back when anime/manga wasnt as popular), i had it all to myself💕 went there at least once a week, wish i didn't have to work, and i could read all day like back then😢
I read like a book everyday and start a new one in the middle of the night.... I'm addicted, especially if it's part of a series and I can get my hands on it immediately.
The key is to learn to ignore everyone and everything other than the words on the page. No distractions means endless reading time. Anywhere. Football game, band concert no problem
I read a book a day. Unless it's one of my 100+ chapter books. Then it takes me about 2 days to read that. But I also read on my phone so that may be apart of it.
My life was like that in high school. Then I started working, and also taking care of domestic labor others did for me before. That's when I realized having time to read for pleasure is more of a privilege than an accomplishment.
I used to read a book everyday. When I was in middle and high-school 😅. I never found the time to do it again since. But time to time, I just take a book and spend a delicious afternoon reading it from the beginning to the end. It is so good!
depends on the book's length, i think. approximately 1 or 2 books per month. especially if the book is complicated, i can spend more than a month to read 1 book. i'm not an english native speaker, so many times i have to re-read a whole page to understand what is happening 😂 got real life going on too. oh. bless to whoever created online dictionary. it helps me a lot. muah❤
I started reading seriously this year. Novel, webtoon and I'm moving onto manga as well now. Honestly I didn't think I would have this much fun reading
Imagine if there was a library you could teleport to that summoned the book you would enjoy most from any time in the past, present and future. You could read forever and never have to wait for a sequel or struggle to find more books to read.
I once grabbed 5 books from the library thinking that it would survive me till the end of the week… it didn’t even survive me till the end of the day 😭
Me But like it took me a month to atyd cause to many crying,screaming,wishing I had a Mauraders friendships, me crying cuz ik who dies, me crying cause he left grant in the dust, me raging bc Sirius is an oblivious fuck, me laughing my ass off bc it was over the covers, me being tooooooo excited when he came out, me talking w the ghost in my room for comfort bc im confused, happy, sad, and jealous at the same time,, then after i read atyd i related every Taylor swift song w them, then i tried to make moony toast………. It was a long process but im happy i read it……….i CanT waIT to rEaD it AGAin
You are going to be such a wonderful mother! I can already tell how much love you have for her and I hope your journey is full of more beautiful memories ❤
When I was little and my add was worse I could 100% read three books in one day simultaneously especially when I was off my meds. I definitely worried my mother.
Audiobooks, my friends. You can listen while you do dishes and laundry. (It makes cleaning so much more fun!) If you have a long commute, you can read a LOT on your drive. My husband listened to a lot of books that way.
Im the friends friend lol,and thats because ive been reading thick books for 11 years at 13 years old.You just have to read faster.I can now read 500 page books in around 15 minutes.
At the beginning of this school year, I had a goal to read 3 books a week and was actually VERY good at keeping the steak. But right around January most of my book serieses ended. So I'm VERY far behind now. I still read tho. 😅
As someone who used to do this, it all comes down to 2 things: how fast you can read, and your levels of energy and motivation. I'm naturally a fast reader. My mind goes a 100km/h and I process text really fast, plus I grew up on subbed anime; so overall my reading speed is pretty good. If I have the energy and motivation for it, I can finish books pretty fast; I mean, I finished the entire Twilight series in 3 days because I had nothing else to read and I was so bored so it was interesting enough to keep me going. If you read text slowly, it's going to take more time obviously; but your energy and motivation are the determinant factors here: if you have no energy you'll struggle cause you're too tired to really process the text you're reading, and if you have no motivation you'll stall reading because the book isn't grabbing your attention for one reason or another. Also, you can't read if you have no time in your routine for it, so there's that too.
It helps if you complained of boredom in the summer of your 9th year and someone gave you a vintage speed-reading course that had been mouldering in the back of a closet.

Yeah, I would max out the number of books I could get in the morning before school, then drop them all off the next morning. Now, I have neither the attention span nor the trauma to escape from, so I'll go through an audiobook or 2 a day, 2-3 days a week.
You sound like an awesome anime character. Not to make light of your issues. No offense meant. @@shinomusume4146
If you read on all your work breaks, read instead of watch TV, and listen to audiobooks while walking/driving/chores etc you can get a lot of reading done. I also bring a book with me wherever I go, in case there is down/waiting time (like car service etc). I still have to work and I have other hobbies like videos and art projects (and love chonky books too) so I can't read a book a day everyday, but typically read 2-3 books a week depending on their length. There are just so many good books out there.. I wish I could read 'em all! 😅
The Star Wars quote I can’t 😭😭
In middle and high school I remember checking out several books each week from the library. Once I discovered manga I started checking out the limit I could carry every time, and using my belt buckle to prop the tall pile on in my arms. Somehow I kept all the story lines straight, despite reading (at minimum) three series' at a time!
Yup, I'm the freak of nature! 😅
I love Mangas, too. My Library recently added Dragan Ball Z, Demon Slayer and I think I saw a couple One Piece Mangas.
Meeeeee!! My school library had a 3 book limit and I'd be there dailyy. Then I figured out that the public library had a 30 book limit AND had whole collections of manga series (back when anime/manga wasnt as popular), i had it all to myself💕 went there at least once a week, wish i didn't have to work, and i could read all day like back then😢
YESSSS
I did something very similar
I read like a book everyday and start a new one in the middle of the night.... I'm addicted, especially if it's part of a series and I can get my hands on it immediately.
The key is to learn to ignore everyone and everything other than the words on the page. No distractions means endless reading time. Anywhere. Football game, band concert no problem
And I’ll be carrying a new book every year 😂
I read a book a day. Unless it's one of my 100+ chapter books. Then it takes me about 2 days to read that.
But I also read on my phone so that may be apart of it.
I read two/three books a week and I’m very proud of myself for it!
Same, it usually takes me about 2 and a half days to read one book!!
Same here! The longest it ever took me to read a book was 8.5 days and that was a 1200 page novel!
My life was like that in high school. Then I started working, and also taking care of domestic labor others did for me before. That's when I realized having time to read for pleasure is more of a privilege than an accomplishment.
okay@@matildejimenez5871
I used to read a book everyday. When I was in middle and high-school 😅. I never found the time to do it again since. But time to time, I just take a book and spend a delicious afternoon reading it from the beginning to the end. It is so good!
Bro i love the book goblin, he/she/ they are soo cuteeee❤😂😂😂
I barely have the energy to keep my eyes open after work I haven't been able to sit down and read a whole book in years. I miss it so much
Audio books from the library are a great way to rest your eyes.
Audio books are great if you can listen to them.
Then there's us fanfic reader who usually go through 5-10 an hour depending on the length of
This is why I love audiobooks, I switch between 3, my long journey book, my work drive book, and my gaming book.
A book a day is the happiest time in life
The book goblin always makes me smile
a book a day keeps the sadness away
Sometimes it takes me a day to read a book, and sometimes it takes me week.
The laugh at the end caught me off guard.
I’m the book a week person during school and when I am bored, a book a month on breaks when I am having fun.
You're the person I used to be when I was still in school XD
I’m that one introverted friend with a new book every 3 days ✨💅
The only thing I like about myself
💀💅
Sammmmeee💙💙
depends on the book's length, i think. approximately 1 or 2 books per month.
especially if the book is complicated, i can spend more than a month to read 1 book. i'm not an english native speaker, so many times i have to re-read a whole page to understand what is happening 😂 got real life going on too.
oh. bless to whoever created online dictionary. it helps me a lot. muah❤
I started reading seriously this year. Novel, webtoon and I'm moving onto manga as well now. Honestly I didn't think I would have this much fun reading
There's never enough books. I just finished my third book today, and they were all proper length novels.
You are strong with this power
Even reading 3 full novel length books you'll never read every book in existence as of this moment. You are fine
Imagine if there was a library you could teleport to that summoned the book you would enjoy most from any time in the past, present and future. You could read forever and never have to wait for a sequel or struggle to find more books to read.

Me who is a student, has 9 hours of classes everyday, yet still finishes a book a day as entertainment: 0.o
I once grabbed 5 books from the library thinking that it would survive me till the end of the week… it didn’t even survive me till the end of the day 😭
I read all of Titan's Curse in an afternoon in the fifth grade. I've not done anything like that since.
As someone who has infact read one if not two books in one day this is so real its insane
I miss having the time to read like that. I do consume them in audio form now though. Much faster to read the physical copy though.
Me who reads 1000s of pages of fanfiction per day:
Me
But like it took me a month to atyd cause to many crying,screaming,wishing I had a Mauraders friendships, me crying cuz ik who dies, me crying cause he left grant in the dust, me raging bc Sirius is an oblivious fuck, me laughing my ass off bc it was over the covers, me being tooooooo excited when he came out, me talking w the ghost in my room for comfort bc im confused, happy, sad, and jealous at the same time,, then after i read atyd i related every Taylor swift song w them, then i tried to make moony toast……….

@@LizHays-oy4vi I swear Taylor is in the Marauders fandom! ATYD was for sure an emotional roller coaster
@@it_iz_vee fr '
I went from not having read anything in the past year to reading a book a day.
Thank you ACOTAR
Girl...there's so many books out there that are actually worth reading with a real plot
I'M the Person who goes through a book a DAY!
The way this made me absolutely cackle - AND THEN THE VIDEO HAD THE SAME CACKLE I WAS DOING, SO I CACKLED HARDER
Me being the one who goes through a book everyday 😹😭
I read 7 to 8 books a week..
B.S.
@@adriande1 I do though, lmfao. I’m a quick reader and I also have a lot of downtime
i read 6-7 a day 0-0... i may or may not raid my libreary
That is SO adorable!
@@croww18 interesting
You are going to be such a wonderful mother! I can already tell how much love you have for her and I hope your journey is full of more beautiful memories ❤
Ah yes, another person who escaped using books.
Ya it’s quite sad honestly. It’s just a fantasy it’s like drugs. Escaping your reality
@@Hdkrbrjfofjfndkelehow??? I'm generally confused how is reading bad?
i’ve gone through 3 books today because i am insane and sick mentally and physically
The blanket is so relatable tho!!!!
I can read a book every day and I have a 40 hr a week job. It's easy especially if the book is 200-300 pages. Just don't watch TV.
Hi, I'm that friend who reads it in like 2-3 days. The trick is to procrastinate on everything else. And practice. A lot of it.
Guys I searched up "The Imposter King" by Eli Hinze butbi didn't find anything
im still not convinced its possible .. these people that read over 100 pages an hour….. like how ?? while still comprehending everything??
When I was reading the twisted series (my fav books now!) I read each in 2 hours. Most of them are 500+ pages. Still don’t know how I did that 😅
When I was little and my add was worse I could 100% read three books in one day simultaneously especially when I was off my meds. I definitely worried my mother.
I finished Ballad of Never After in 4 hrs. It’s 400 pages long…😭
I am a friend that goes through a book every hour……(it’s only applies to the Percy Jackson series)
Audiobooks, my friends. You can listen while you do dishes and laundry. (It makes cleaning so much more fun!) If you have a long commute, you can read a LOT on your drive. My husband listened to a lot of books that way.
Im the friends friend lol,and thats because ive been reading thick books for 11 years at 13 years old.You just have to read faster.I can now read 500 page books in around 15 minutes.
At the beginning of this school year, I had a goal to read 3 books a week and was actually VERY good at keeping the steak. But right around January most of my book serieses ended. So I'm VERY far behind now. I still read tho. 😅
It’s because I read so fast that I suffer 😅. I once read the last book in my series (600 pages) in two nights. The amount of regret I felt was crazy.
I don't read a book every day, but i can finish a heartstopper book in just a few minutes😅
My friends thinks I'm crazy because I finished two books in one day. There is nothing wrong with that. Is there?
I can read 500k words in a week if I’m invested. But I prefer to have a selection of books that I alternate
I have a friend who goes through a book every mil second and she's a pescatarian who smiles while drinking tea and doesn't have a phone
As someone who used to do this, it all comes down to 2 things: how fast you can read, and your levels of energy and motivation.
I'm naturally a fast reader. My mind goes a 100km/h and I process text really fast, plus I grew up on subbed anime; so overall my reading speed is pretty good.
If I have the energy and motivation for it, I can finish books pretty fast; I mean, I finished the entire Twilight series in 3 days because I had nothing else to read and I was so bored so it was interesting enough to keep me going.
If you read text slowly, it's going to take more time obviously; but your energy and motivation are the determinant factors here: if you have no energy you'll struggle cause you're too tired to really process the text you're reading, and if you have no motivation you'll stall reading because the book isn't grabbing your attention for one reason or another.
Also, you can't read if you have no time in your routine for it, so there's that too.
It helps if you complained of boredom in the summer of your 9th year and someone gave you a vintage speed-reading course that had been mouldering in the back of a closet.
Honestly, it just depends on the book. If its good, you *know* im grinding on the whole series until my eyes bleed. If its bad…
