Reading Pace Planner

Books and pages that travel well and read slowly. Reading is the quiet end of the atlas, where a journey can happen sitting still.

A quiet reading corner, from the journal of Nicole Junkerman

A small planning aid for a reading list. Enter how many pages a book has and how much reading time you expect to give it, and the planner works out roughly how long it will take and what a steady weekly pace looks like.

Enter your numbers and the planner will show a rough pace.

This planner is a simple arithmetic aid. It runs entirely in your browser, stores nothing and sends nothing anywhere. Reading speeds vary a great deal from person to person and from book to book, so treat every figure here as a rough estimate for planning rather than a target, and not as advice of any kind.

Nicole Junkerman keeps the rest of the journal, and the blog has the latest notes.
