During the first 159 pages of A Game of Thrones, I wrote down the time I spent reading. I've been calculating and now I know how many words I read per hour: 8638.5
A Game of Thrones has 395.7 words per page, so that makes 21.83 pages per hour, which is 2.75 minutes per page.

(I found a text file of the book so I could count the words very accurately.)
