<p>This could be serious. People want to know what reading speed they should be at. Like a person shouldn't read at like 20 pages per hour. He's just enquiring.</p>

<p>At least 40 pages per hour. Try to get up to 60 pages per hour if possible.</p>

<p>And how would you do that??</p>

<p>Wow, I fall drastically below this standard. If I'm reading a novel I can easily read 60 pages in an hour, but when reading dense academic or literary material I generally don't go far beyond 20 pages in an hour.</p>

<p>Any tips on how one would go about increasing his reading speed?</p>
