From your Wikipedia link, this caught my eye:

reading for memorization (fewer than 100 words per minute [wpm]); reading for learning (100–200 wpm); reading for comprehension (200–400 wpm); and skimming (400–700 wpm)

I'd think most here are reading for learning, to an extent. 200 WPM sounds like it'd be a good middle between learning and comprehending, though I could just be slow since I tend to read at work while I'm watching tests run.

Just yesterday, I mentioned I'm here when my tests are running :P

Issue being, since I need to run the full regression suite for every story as per the definition of done, I have about an hour every story of doing nothing. Instead of trying to kill my computer having multiple instances of the app up so I can work on multiple things at once, I just read things that vaguely relate to my job. And lately I barely even have one thing to work on, let alone 2, so... here I am :)
