I read one page per day. I first read it while I eat my grapefruit and wait for my oatmeal to cook. While eating my oatmeal i consider that page and then I read that page a second time. While I shower I consider the page in context to the previous page and as I dry myself and dress for the day I consider it in context to the context explored in the previous days shower. As I drink my coffee I copy the page out into a sheet of parchment paper which I then wrap my sandwich in. At this point I forget about my reading and focus on the days tasks until lunch. During lunch I intently study my sandwich's wrapper and the various edits made by a bit of mayo, a stray sprout or a crease in the paper, exploring the new contexts they suggest until I have lost all sense of the original page. Once again I forget about the page and return to the days activities until I return home for the night. Once home I prepare my dinner and season it by reading the page aloud over my meal. I retain very little of this reading of the page and find that the sandwich's editing still occupies my mind. As I eat my food well seasoned with the words of the page it returns to me a word at a time but never in the proper order. I carefully chew each word until I have found its proper place, the I's are most difficult and one can never really be sure if they got the right 'I' in the right place, especially troublesome with dialog. After dinner I go for a walk to help with digestion and prepare my mind for sleep. Before bed I read the page a final time. I sleep soundly.
Some days I read nothing.
Some days I read 60+ pages.
Really just depends on what I feel like doing.
I don't hold myself to some kind of "daily reading goal" or anything because I'm not some lifestyle LARPer who wears turtlenecks and petticoats and reads in public or something
I take a lot of notes (plot, characters, questions arised, themes, sentences I consider well written/syntactically complex/satisfying, etc) that hinder my reading experience. Took me three weeks to finish a 210 page novel.
About 10-30 if I work that day, on my off days though about 50-100 or more if I’m really liking the book. I also supplement with audiobooks at work but to call that actually reading is pretty disingenuous. Still though I think it’s a good practice people should do

Around 50 if I'm not particularly engaged with the work.
If it's really interesting then around 100-150
maybe like 40
Across all my reading, 60 or so pages.
More than you!
I try to do 40-50 but in reality I mostly do 20-30.

Idk. But I read 5-6 hours a day. These were my stats last year. The math can be done.
pages / 365 days = 66 pages per day
>12 ± 1 pages per hour
>5 ± 0.5 min per page
Depends on the font size.
I'm an extremely slow reader so like 30?
50-100 per day but I have a big problem hopping to different books at times
10-20
10 on train to work 10 on train to home 20 before bed
About ten. 1984 is fun so it's easy to read.
12-15

From 10 to 100 depending on the day.
30 to 60 if i like the book, i try to not read too much at once, i like to sit on what i read for a bit and i don't want to finish the book too soon
10-30. Never really more than that. Never really more than an hour.
1 week averaging 100ppd, then 2 weeks of nothing. Repeat

It depends on the author, you can read 100 pages of Steinbeck in the blink of an eye, but it might take you years to get through a paragraph of Joyce.
