So I was reading a fic and it had a word count at the top, and I figured 'hey, I could time how long it takes me to read this and figure out how many wpm I read' only I didn't actually think of that until I was two thirds of the way through, so I don't really remember the start time.

But it took at most ninty minutes to read fifty-two thousand words, so um, I'm thinking a reading WPM of five hundred seventy-seven is pretty good.*

Man, I read a lot. Fifty-two thousand words is published novel length, and I can blaze through it in an hour and a half.

* Average reading speed is two hundred WPM. Excellent reading speed is apparently around one thousand WPM. So, yeah.
