    lol!
    Why?
    I think its normal to read that fast.
    Guess that is why I can finish novels so fast. I need harder stuff to read.

    I've read books with 800 pages in about 30 minutes before. And I comprehend it really fast.
    Even though English is my second langauge and Greek is my first. I can read at the same rate reading in greek or English.
    :redface:I feel like I'm showing off......

    And I only know half the rules of English.

    I can read a novel, no problems. Time varies from 1 hour to forever, since you need to get me to just start reading it.

    :)

    Same with me..(except that Urdu's my first language) :)

    You'll know all of them if you stay here.....lol. But it's very impressive that you can read English that fast even though it's not your first language. Kudos again!

    :redface: Thank you.
    But then again the English language kinda sprouted from Roman and Greek alphabet. So its hard, but easy. Greeks don't have that many rules to follow.
    Its much simpler then English.

    I've always known I read sort of slow. I have to absolutely certain I know what's going on. Actually, it can be quite an annoying habit sometimes :p

    Its only annoying when your reading something really boring. Just makes you want to skip to the end.

    If I'm engrossed in a good book, however, I love it. Just makes it last all the much longer.

    Leaka's right. It's about giving it a shot, at least.

    People really take up to a year, don't be amused. Be...happy. :p
