Picked up my shirts from the cleaner's (as you will recall they closed for the summer holidays the day before I was going to pick them up, some 4 weeks ago), renewed my bus card (290 DKK for zones 1 and 2, 30 days), bought DeWitt's Last Samurai and Murakami's Norwegian Wood in Gad at Central Station, 2 short-sleeved shirts at Torben's at Amagerbrogade.

Weather: Sunny, 26 DEG C, zero wind.

Fast reader? I told you so: "You read between 600 - 650 words per minute. Extremely efficient reading level. (The average rate is between 200 - 250 words per minute.) It is assumed that you did not skim the words nor fail to understand the meaning of what was read", according to this test. And I even wasted valuable seconds scrolling down the page in the browser window. I usually say that I read around 100 pages per hour, when reading novels etc. Source code or computer manuals usually go a bit slower... (via dust from a distant sun)

A Danish test is also available. 1089 words per minute, I should be capable of...

Finished reading Hustvedt's The Enchantment of Lily Dahl.
