Is this normal or are my comprehension skills just poor? The first half of a book I’ll read 20 pages an hour and the second half I can get up to 40 per hour. Its the first book I’ve read by this author and it almost feels like I’m trying to decipher a different language. I have never been the best with comprehension and have ADHD so I have found myself re reading pages constantly.
Yes to both. Don’t feel bad about shelving it and getting back to it once you’ve built up more experience and comprehension, that’s what I did.
Also don’t worry about pages per hour, you should be reading it slowly. Reading slowly is a good thing it means you are reading above your comprehension level, whereas reading fast means you’re reading below your level. You won’t grow if you only read easy books.
