Well I was just pondering when I thought how fast do people read books. I read the cradle series last month in under 13 days. Constantly binge reading it. I have alot of time so it didn’t seem a big deal. Then I remembered in 2019 when I first picked up WoT I followed many people who were reading for the first time or reading it and I discovered it took most of them a year or so and I read it in under 4 Months. That time I was doing my last year in college and had many exams.
I was in middle school when the first Harry Potter book was released, but I didn’t read them until my grandma bought me the fourth book right when it was released. It didn’t take long for me to buy and read the books to catch up. From book 5 to 7, I went to midnight releases and would have them finished before noon. Then I would immediately reread them to really soak in the details.
Don’t think I’ve read as fast as that at any other point in my life, even for school (I majored in English with an emphasis on British Lit, so looooots of reading happened, but at a much slower pace.)
