How the fuck do I git gud at reading?
Takes me like an hour to get through ten pages, and it feels like a slog the entire time.

Honestly just keep doing it, a lot. You will get the hang of it.
>>7718361
Start by quitting /lit/, should increase reading rate at least 3x

I will. How many hours a day do you think makes sense per day?
>>7718393
as much as you can stand. After the proverbial ten thousand hours or so, you wont be readubg phonetically, you will just recognize words or groups of words by shape...you will acquire new words thorugh context and by recognizing their etymology...but honestly, dont force it. Literacy is overrated. You only are going to need to be able to text and use emojis;. You'll be fine.
Hope that Helps!
Look up every word you don't know my memory as you're reading. I think the reason why most people are slow readers is because they are either distracted or do not have a strong enough lexicon in which to process the language quickly.

If your finances take care of themselves, you have about 14 hours a day to work with.
Most people will have 8 hours of free time (the other time being 8 h of work/school, 8 h sleep), which with breaks, translates to 7 h of free time. 4 hours of reading is good, assuming you also spend time with friends/the internet.
What are you reading OP?

lol. Translation. Young, live at home, have avoided work so far.
Thanks for breaking down the 24 hour cycle for me, though, anon.

Tbh if you aren't reading heavily and adult lit by the age of 13 or 14 you are fucked. These threads perplex me because I have been consuming proper lit since I was those ages so I have a lot of practice and can't understand your difficulty. Bit bragging but truthful

It takes me about that long to read dense nonfiction
Sometimes I warm up the book after a while and it goes faster
I wouldn't worry
>>7718542
Not super worried, in all honesty. Moreso wondering if there was any sort of "trick" that I've been missing. Doesn't seem to be the case; I'll just have to keep at it until it becomes less of a chore.
Thanks for the feedback!
I only read a hour per day on weekdays, but that's because I'm a STEM student with a pretty tight schedule. So after I study at home, I work out and then read outdoors (somewhere quiet) until it's time to go to class. I wish I could go faster, but at this rate I'm not doing too bad for the size of my backlog, my career choice and my age I guess.
