Reading+Timeline

How fast should you read your book?
Although this is an assignment, you should also read the book for pleasure. Keeping this idea in mind, then, consider that people read at different speeds, remember more or less details, and have other things going on in their lives that give them more or less time to read. And most important, how fast a person reads also depends on whether they like to read. So, here are suggested timelines to get you to read your book during the summer and still have time to do other things.


 * **//Mythology//** by Edith Hamilton || 330 Pages ||
 * **//Life of Pi//** by Yann Martel || 401 Pages ||

1. Slow Readers/Very Busy Readers/Confused Readers/I-Don't-Like-to-Read Readers: Take 40 days to read the book.
Readers in this category do not read much at one sitting. This can be a good thing, but it requires discipline to read everyday. That's right. You should read only a little bit everyday. If you get ahead, congratulations! But don't skip a day. Just try to keep to the suggestion the next day.


 * //Mythology// Readers || 8 - 9 pages a day ||
 * //Life of Pi// Readers || 10 -11 pages a day ||

2. Basic Readers/Busy Readers: Take 30 days to read the book.
Some readers don't mind reading but it's just not their favorite thing to do. By adding a few more pages per day, you can crank out reading this book in a month. The rest of the summer is yours!
 * //Mythology// Readers || 11 - 12 pages a day ||
 * //Life of Pi// Readers || 13 - 14 pages a day ||
 * //Life of Pi// Readers || 13 - 14 pages a day ||

3. Intermediate Readers/Selective Readers: Take 20 days to read the book.
Many readers who like to read can sit for a long time with a book, but they only want to read what they like. Anything outside their genre turns them off and they tend to take longer to read. Often, they will become interested in whatever they read and may end up reading faster, but it's best to give them some time.
 * //Mythology// Readers || 16 - 17 pages a day ||
 * //Life of Pi// Readers || 20 - 21 pages a day ||
 * //Life of Pi// Readers || 20 - 21 pages a day ||

4. Advanced Readers: Take 15 days to read the book.
These people love to read, but these books aren't typical readings for students, so there is a cushion of time to read and reflect.
 * //Mythology// Readers || 22 - 23 pages a day ||
 * //Life of Pi// Readers || 26 - 27 pages a day ||
 * //Life of Pi// Readers || 26 - 27 pages a day ||

5. Reading is your life: Take as little as 3 days to read.
You probably already finished the book, didn't you? :)

This is only a suggested timeline. You can set your own goal -- just divide the number of pages by the number days you want to read. Remember, this does not include the assigned work; this timeline only helps you reach the reading goal.
