DAY 63Word Count: 40,008
Sentence of the Day: The overpowering stench of mackerel and bloaters punched him in the nose.
When I crack open the cover of a new book, unless it's a super stinker, I'm going to read it word-for-word until the very end. Yep, I'm one of those kinds of readers. I don't skim over things. If an author's taken the painstaking time to write and order words on a page, then I feel obligated to read each of those words.
Does that make me a slow reader?
I wondered about that, so I took an online reading speed test. It was fun and easy, so I thought you might enjoy discovering your own reading speed.
Here's the LINK.
And just in case you're curious how your numbers stack up against mine, here's my score:
316 wpm
82% comprehension

Wow, you're a good reader! I got 257 wpm with 73% comprehension, lol (but in my defense, non-fiction articles take more time to read and comprehend than interesting stories). Fun quiz though :-)
257 is a respectable number, little buddy. And yeah, non-fiction is NOT my idea of a gripping read.
