437. I like to savour the moment but I also read faster when exciting things are happening because I want to know what is going to happen quickly.




I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Don't be sad D: I read fast because I have no friends other than books :P


You can't lose hope when it's hopeless.
You gotta hope more,
then put your fingers in your ears and go,
"Blah blah blah blah!"

1 out of 3 questions right.

It didn't show me how many words a minute or how faster I was against the national average. :S

But I can usually read quicker if I am enjoying the book and have no distractions.

You read 1,073 words per minute.
That makes you 329% faster than the national average.

3/3 correct answers.

Now I'll play your ghost as my ace, whenever I'm led astray.
But I am actually good, can't help it if we're tilted.
I'm in my right place, don't be a downer.
