I read so slow

[Deleted member 3291]

I’m trying to read a novel and it took me an hour to finish 30 pages.

Nothing wrong with reading slow. Just have more time to enjoy the book

You get faster, the more you read.

Hah, I'm the same. Takes me a while to read a book, have bad reading comprehension, and have to backtrack to. God, I'm so low IQ

Healthy eating, constant exercise

I'm slow in understanding in what I am reading or listening even more when it is time pressured, I get distracted.

It takes me forever to read too, I'll continuously read over sentences I just read, paragraphs, sometimes whole page to really absorb the informations. And flip back to certain pages to certain plotpoints or things I might have forgotten or looked over. Looking up words I don't know in the dictionary too.

same with manga

not really small like medium I would say

 

[Deleted member 8353]

Sometimes I'm like that with books, at least if what I'm reading is difficult to understand.

Same issue but i have autism instead of ADHD.

2 minutes per page is pretty average though, but I guess it does depend on font size, if english is your mother tongue etc

 

[Deleted member 2119]

You will get better at it if you read a lot

I read really fast but because of my ADHD I just get so bored and zone out and it all becomes a blurry jumbled mess in my eyes if it's not the most interesting thing in the world, it's funny because I love reading studies and papers and things of that nature, but when it comes to books and such I prefer audiobooks.

My ADHD makes me lose focus.

I tried reading Papers on arxiv but too low iq to understand anything.

 

[TheGoodGuy]

30 pages in 1 hour is slow?

I read like 10 pages in 1 hour!

Just listen to audiobooks while you're doing stuff, you can learn a lot of interesting stuff and even if you're not focused on listening, it all gets implanted into your subconscious, when I first started listening to just hours and hours of books and people talking about different political stuff for months and months I started using words I didn't know I knew.

 

[Bagelcel]

It's not a competition, atleast you're reading in the first place...
Most people don't
