Well I was just pondering when I thought how fast do people read books. I read the cradle series last month in under 13 days. Constantly binge reading it. I have alot of time so it didn’t seem a big deal. Then I remembered in 2019 when I first picked up WoT I followed many people who were reading for the first time or reading it and I discovered it took most of them a year or so and I read it in under 4 Months. That time I was doing my last year in college and had many exams.
I read one book per day for all of alex verus series and finished the entire thing in two weeks. Granted each book is pretty small, but that’s the longest series I read in such a short amount of time.
For a single book, I read oathbringer which is like 450k words, in a single 24 to 30 hour binge. I didn’t sleep, I was reading while eating and what not.
