I have very mild dyslexia, and because of that my reading speed tops out at around 100 words per minute. But all of my friends believe that I'm a much faster reader than that because I read continually and voraciously and remember everything I've read.
The first harry potter book took me about 24 hours cumulatively over the course of about five days.
But I've since discovered the joys of audio books. With a 3 hour round trip commute, I just listened to the entire Wheel of time series, to date, over the last two months. Considdering the first book took me almost a month the last time I read it, that's really impressive.
I wish I could read faster, but I'm pretty happy now that I can 'read' books while driving to work.
"Not this again!" Minerva said. "Albus, it was You-Know-Who, not you, who marked Harry as his equal. There is no possible way that the prophecy could be talking about you!" - Harry Potter and the Method of Rationality, Chapter 84
