Interesting that you also track reading speed. My speed differential between different types of of books always surprises me a bit. Usually it's something like, "Wait, I'm only 20% through this book and I've been reading it for two months?"

- xavdid 4y agoNeat! Thanks for that context.
- xavdid 4y agoThat reading speed (in words / day) is mostly a byproduct of wanting to track start/end dates and a word count, so I get speed "for free". I don't actually look at it much, but it's an interesting proxy for "rough interest level". It is funny how much variation there is between books/genres though! The sentence complexity and variety definitely comes into play here.
- desio 4y agoalso curious how you track your reading speed? any tools or process that works for you?
