When I am into a book I usually read 100 paperback pages an hour. So it dependson the size of book. I read da Vinci Code in one sitting the day before I saw the movie and it took me 5-6 hours.
100 pages an hour? we have a robot here... thats not possible.
There are between 250 and 300 words per paperback page.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_reading States that reading between 250-350 wpm will give you the best reading comprehension. Most fictional literature does not require a lot of concentration so if I am into the book, I can read faster. I read technical literature much slower in the 150-200 wpm.
