[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

I am not a speed reader, so the best I've ever done is read about a chapter a day, which is a little over two months. That's how long it takes me every year... a little over two months. Which makes it quite a commitment to read it every year. I wouldn't say I'm a slow reader, but I like to take everything in, especially in LOTR. I take time to enjoy it, usually reading the poems silently or singing them in my head, then singing them out loud. Sometimes in the middle of a book I'll just stop and think about it. I like to be able to feel like I've been there and seen it all, like I've travelled wiht these characters and spoken with them and helped them along the way. I take my time to enjoy it, and if I miss anything I go back and read the whole paragraph again. So I can read fairly fast, but I don't speed read.
