As noted earlier, I received Body of Secrets for Christmas. I'm now on page 550, meaning I'm still over a hundred pages from the end.
Quick math: I started reading this book at Christmas, so six days in December + 31 in January + 2 in Feb = 39 days of reading time. 550 pgs / 39 days = 14.1 pages/day.
I'm not illiterate or aliterate. I just don't make time to read. My ADHD messes with my ability to concentrate, so I sometimes have to re-read passages because I can't pay attention long enough to absorb the content. Things that interest me I do fine with, but I'm finally starting to understand why I always did so terribly on reading comprehension tests in elementary school despite reading at an 8th grade reading level when I was in 1st grade. I just didn't read the passage, even though I understood it and what was going on.
Next book for me will be Crypto by Steven Levy.
