Re: what's the fastest time you've ever read LOTR

I have done it in a day many times. I have read LOTR 14 times and counting...At a leisurely pace I can read it in 16 hours and not miss a single word, even re-reading my favourite parts. As for speed reading Gamgie, well, I can do 2000 words per minute- and that's reading everything. It does take a LOT of effort and is less enjoyable so I don't do that too often. I agree, it is worth taking the time, but some people can naturally read fast. One day I'll memorise it...
