I finished Flashback the day it came out. I am a really fast reader and I don't consider it bragging because it's kind of a fact. I read at a pace of 1785 Words Per Minute. Here's how to time yourself like I did:

1) Count the number of five-letter-or-more words on one page in the book you are currently reading. (You cannot have read it before.)

2) Set up a 1-minute timer.

3) Start the timer and begin reading your book. Keep a bookmark on the page you start on.

4) Make sure you are reading at your normal pace, at which you retain all information.

5) When the timer beeps, stop reading and count the number of pages you read. (If you stop in the middle of a page, say .5. For example, if you read 11 pages, and another half page, say 11.5)

6) Using a calculator, multiply the number of pages you read by the number you got in step 1.

7) This number is your reading Words Per Minute. I got 15 pages in a minute and 116 important words on a page. This multiplies to 1785.

8) If you get over 1500, brag about it, because you're more than half of the world champion speed reader.
