Two nights ago, while I was going to sleep, my housemate kiko knocked on my door and told me he had finally finished the book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. Of course that meant it was my turn. :) So I picked up the book and started reading like crazy. Oh, and I forgot to mention, I made sure I know what time I started.
After 5 hours my eyes were really tired, so I slept. And when I woke up I started reading again. for another 5 hours straight. Whew! The 759 page book cost me 10 hours. (check out my other story about this)
While I was reading I was listening to the radio and the DJ was saying some newspapers hired speed readers when the book 7 came out just to be the first to review the book. Another fan actually read it in record time -47 mins! This reader, Mrs. Jones, from Ireland, was a world speed reader champ!
It seems that some people can really read that fast, and there I was, I thought I was fast. :( Maybe I'll try to best them..but in time. in time..For now, let me study it first.

DeeGee - I'm glad you read the book - didn't it keep you on the edge of your seat? I don't know if I believe that Mrs. Jones read the book in 47 minutes. That's 16 page a minute - or just under 4 seconds a page. Yes she might be reading the words but how much retention could she have had?
