Of course, it depends on the subject matter and media, but on average what's your reading rate? I'm going to time myself.

300 is the overall average; 450 for college grads and 575 for high-level execs.

Note: somewhat dated article (2012) but reading rates probably don't change that much. I think a Pew survey put the overall average at 250.
