What is your reading speed?

Have you ever felt that there is so much stuff to read about (blogs, books, newspaper and what not)  but so little time? Have you ever wished to have that amazing power where you just gulp the entire page by just looking at it for few seconds? I feel it every day. I have 500 feeds sitting in my reader. How do I get to them? Is it humanly possible? Some people argue that you just have to peruse them and only read the exciting ones. Believe me, there are quite a few good ones there.

So, I thought I will check what kind of a reader I am? I always knew I wasn’t a fast reader but I just wanted to measure it. So, I went to my friend for advice. The friend who seems to have answers to all my questions. No money for right guess! google :) So, I found this page which measures your reading speed? Go ahead and take it. Seriously. Go. Come back and then continue to read my blog.

Ok, I scored 262 which puts me in average bracket :(   But you know what, that is good. I now know where I stand. If I go with what is mentioned in that page, excellent reading speed is somewhere between 500 – 750 words per minute. Can you belive that? If I can reach that level, I will literally be reading twice as much as I do.  OMG, I can’t believe this. Isn’t that awesome?

What was your score? I will probably google for more information and tutorials to improve my reading speed. I will post next month same day (approx), how much improvement I have made. If you are interested in it, leave a comment. It would be nice to have a company :)

Well, that’s all I have for today. Happy reading! oh, if you have any tips for me on how to cover lot of material in short time, please let me know.

On that note, I shall move to my next assignment for the day.

Cheers,
Mahesh Murthy
