How many words is Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow?

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is about 109,725 words, estimated from its 399 pages at about 275 words a page. At 250 words a minute, that comes to 7 hours 19 minutes.

Most reading-time sites default to 300 words a minute. The best evidence we could find, a 2019 meta-analysis of 190 studies by Marc Brysbaert, puts silent adult reading of English prose closer to 238 words a minute for non-fiction and 260 for fiction. We use 250. It is slower than the number you will see elsewhere, and it is closer to how people actually read.

This is still a model, not a measurement. When enough ReadersGuild readers have finished Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, we will replace this estimate with the time they actually took.

Read it with the Guild

Read Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow at a fire.

ReadersGuild opens soon. You have the hours. The hard part is sitting down for them. Open a fire and up to twenty readers sit with you, each with their own book, and nobody has to remember to log it afterwards.

A reading library: currently reading and recently finished books.
I built this once before. People kept their books in it, their sessions, their whole year, and I shut it down. This is me building it again properly, and everyone who was on the first one comes back as an Elder.
