      Depends on how quickly you have to read. It’s not a very dense book because like half of it is restating history and context you can just skim by if you’re already familiar with the time period, and it uses very accessible language.

        Yeah that’s why I’m curious. I read at about 350WPM so what I consider a fast read may be slow for some.

        It also depends on the density of the text. I’ve been struggling through Imperialism by Lenin for like a month.

          Sorry, I literally don’t have an answer, I have never timed how long it takes to read something. All I can say is how quick it feels to read something.
