Slow to Read

I like reading books.
I sometimes think I might be a reading addict.
But I can’t read fast.
When I went to a manga cafe, where you can enjoy food and drinks, read comics etc, with my sister, we were there about an hour.
During that time, my sister read about 6 comics, but I could only read a book.
I know the reason why I read comics slow.
Because I don't just read the text, I look at pictures in every detail.
During I read, I think like “How wonderful line it is! How the author draw it?” “This composition is amazing!” “The author is too talented to draw such expressions” etc.

But even novels are slow.
I lent my sister a novel that took me about 6 hours to read, and she read it in about an hour.
Did she really understand what the story was talking about? I thought.
Anyway, I think it's good if you read books quickly because you can read a lot of it, and it's also good if you read it slowly because you can enjoy it for a long time.


読むのが遅い

私は読書が好きで、ときどき活字中毒なんじゃないかと思うくらいです。
でも読むのは遅いです。
妹と漫画喫茶に行ったとき、1時間くらいそこに居ました。
その間に妹は漫画6冊くらい読んでいたのに、私は1冊くらいしか読めませんでした。
私が漫画を読むのが遅い理由はわかっています。
それは、文字を読むだけではなく、漫画の一コマ一コマの絵をじっくり見てしまうからです。
「この線は素晴らしくキレイだ、どうやって描いているのだろう」とか、「この構図はすごい」「こんな表情を描けるなんて作者は才能ありすぎだ」などと思いながら読んでいるので遅くなります。

でも小説でもやっぱり遅いです。
私が読むのに6時間くらいかかった小説を妹に貸したら、1時間くらいで読んでいました。
妹は本当に話がわかったのかな?と思いました。
早く読めれば沢山読めるのでいいなと思いますが、読むのが遅ければ長く楽しめるので、それはそれで良いと思います。

How did the author draw it?” “This composition is amazing!” “The author is toso talented to draw such expressions” etc.

"_ is too _ to _" has a different meaning.
"The author is too talented to draw such expressions" sounds like the expressions drawn are bad, so the author couldn't have drawn them because they are talented.

I like reading books.

添削してくれてありがとうございます。 ちょっと質問なのですが、この場合、an hour → 1 hour   とした方がよいでしょうか? それとも時間の場合は an hour の方が自然でしょうか?

Thank you for your telling me. In this case, can I use "one hour" instead of "an hour"? It would be: "I lent my sister a novel that took me about six hours to read, but she read it in about one hour."

「a book」は一冊の本と察せますが、「1 book」と書けばより端的になります。前の部分で「6 comics」と書きましたので、そうと思いました。でも、元の文は全然大丈夫です。それと、「book」と書きましたが、もし漫画を読んだら、「comic」を書いた方がいいと思います。

During that time, my sister read about 6six comic books, but I could only read aread only one book. During that time, my sister read about six comic books, but I could read only one book.

Although "a" before a noun indicates that it is singular, it doesn't have the same function as "one".

I know the reason why I read comics slow.

"Slowly" modifies the verb "to read" so we have to use an adverb instead of the adjective "slow."
