Shit... I guess me cheating in typing class as a kid by looking down at my hands is hurting me now. I'm averaging about 40

Good thing it's not necessary for my job... Are there any free games you guys could recommend to help me out? I've been wanting to improve for a long time.

Edit: nvm, was still cheating during the first try... Lets say more like 17 wpm. Pretty sad huh...

If you like reading... instead of reading the next book you plan to read, type it out!

I'm pretty sure most of us got fast by typing a lot... usually through blogs, chats, forums, etc. I'm sure typing games are helpful if that's your thing, but I don't know which ones in specific have a good reputation =/

With 17 wpm he's gonna need YEARS for a book with 400 pages.

Haha that's a good idea but I think i'll just make sure I practice a little everyday. I was never really into blogs, AIM, all that stuff so I got out of practice. Writing papers in college wasn't a problem cuz typing from my head plus looking down occasionally gets me about 50 wpm or more.
