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.

An introduction to the Romance genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

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.
