Seriously. And how much do you read at at time. Given it takes me about an hour to read 20 to 40 pages depending on the size of the book and type and so on after a few hours reading I've still only made it maybe a hundred pages through roughly at best. Do you sit and read for hours on end or do you read extremely fast? If you do read fast how in the world do you retain what you read?
Although, I do have one unique skill when it comes to reading. I can set a book down at any point in the story and pick it back up days, weeks, months, and even years later and remember everything in the story to that point.
