  1. 782? Crikey! I managed 530 words per minute, although I wasn't really pushing it ;-)

    I've copied this on to my blog, too. Cheers!

  2. BTW I've just noticed those pics of The Damned on your sidebar. Cool! I'm hoping to see them next weekend - always good for a laugh...

  4. This really bugs me, I've got a Master's from an Ivy, read everyday (often all day), and apparently it's only at an 11th grader's pace 330-350. Though apparently that is substantially faster than average adults? I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

    1. I think you may be taking in more than the rest of us and actually thinking about what you're reading :)

  5. Thanks for the Damned set-list :-)
    If Dave and the boys play that on Sunday I'll be very happy! I don't think I've ever seen them play Limit Club live, so that would be very, very cool...

  6. "12,639 words per minute."

    It helped that the text was from War of the Worlds, which I didn't need to read to answer the questions :) Apparently, if I was really reading at that speed, I could finish the Bible in just over 1 hour. Hallelujah!

    1. lol I think I discovered a sub-game to it: "how fast can you click the 'finished!' button after clicking the start button" :)

    2. "30,376 words per minute." I can now read the Bible in 26 minutes lol I was hoping I could break it so that I ended up being able to read the Wizard of Oz in -1 minute :)
