  • How long does it take you to read?

    Please mention the length of book you refer to, I originally wanted to ask about only books around 1000 pages, but I decided to leave the post open to any sort of book.

    Do you consider yourself quick or slow?

    I used to be a quick reader way above my grade, but in adulthood I have grown slower. This is due to visual issues, concentration issues, and generally not having the will or time.

    When I read Stephen King's IT, it took me a month or two i think, i am not 100% sure as this was years ago. (with breaks) I am now reading Salem's Lot, and though I wont say I am reading faster, I am at least reading more. It has been a while since I sat down to swallow 50+ pages in one go. I might never reach the speed I once had, but... slow and steady wins the race?

    I will by no means say I am slow rn, but closer to average than what I am "used to"

    I know I'm not that far into the book, but I actually feel sorry for Heathcliff. Everyone else, except for Nelly, is horrible.

    I read Wuthering Heights for the first time over 30 years ago. I'm quickly learning how much I forgot or missed the first time. I know one thing - Joseph's Yorkshire accent isn't any more understandable with age.

    This book dragged for me, especially in the middle. It pains me to say that because I'm a huge R.L. Mathewson fan. I've read almost all of her books. You can't read her books without laughing out loud. I just found this one slower than normal.

    I read these novellas separately but Pagebound only lists them as a bundled novella in this book.

    The ending felt rushed to me after all the build up. But otherwise a solid read.
