If you've ever stared at a 200-page book and wondered, "How long is this going to take?", you should know that I've done the same thing before. And by the way, when I saw this volume of reading, I was equally shocked regardless of whether I was reading a book that I was interested in or a book for my master's thesis. At the time, when my friend was telling me how quickly he read the book and wanted to discuss it with me, I thought "Oh my God, when did he manage to do that?" I started looking more for advice on how long to read 200 pages . For example, I started training my eyes to read groups of 3–5 words at once instead of one word at a time. This reduces fixation points and speeds up comprehension. Now I can read faster and more focused by adopting proven habits from best-selling books on reading speed and productivity.
