Whats the shortest time youve taken to read Lotr - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

If you read even just the three books of LotR in five and half hours, you'd be "reading" over thirty words per second. Throw in The Hobbit, and it jumps up to around thirty-five words per second. Of course, those numbers jump way up if you take time out to, oh, say, go to the bathroom or get a bite to eat or glance up from the page for a few seconds.

I can only say again, that ain't reading. Skimming maybe, but not reading.
