I can spend reading a book up to one hours and even more. It's since i'm used to read a book before go to sleep. So i can read a book overall within one week, it's depends on the number of pages and the kind of book. The most requires a long time is the novel series , it can be one month and even more because i want to enjoy the story. How about you mylotters?

I usually read 200-300 page novels. I can finish it in a day.. without sleeping and eating and only would only stop to pee if the book is really interesting :).. but if its not I normally finish in 2-3 days. I don't read books before I sleep as I would most likely be staying up the whole night. And I don't even dare open a book if I know I don't have the time because I get engrossed easily. If its for a report though or official business it would take me until the deadline to finish lol

Hi, icecubic. I can read a book and be finished with it in about 2 weeks if it is a very long novel. That is only if I spend everyday reading this book. I am pretty much a very fast reader.

There have been a couple of books that I finished the day I started them, but that's rare. There are some books I started on years ago and still haven't finished even though I enjoy them when I read from them. If I'm in a reading mood, it usually takes about a week to read a book.

It depends on how long the book is, but these days I usually don't take more than a week for a single book. I typically finish books in the range of 200-500 pages in about two days. Sometimes only one if I find it really compelling or I read it whenever I get a spare minute.

I read books usually for thirty minutes long. I cannot stay longer to read the small letters because my eyes will get soar of looking it. But if it is really a need to go over the book and it is for reporting I will try my very best to cope up. I cannot stay long I will be sleepy if reading longer. I chose to read books which are only few pages so that it is easily finished than a thick one.

I love reading and can devour a book quite quickly if I get engrossed in it. In general it usually takes me about four days to finish a paperback book and a little longer if the book is a hardback and a bit thicker.

I have a few books that I have been in the process of reading for years... sometimes its because I've opened a new book and quickly become so engrossed in it that i want to read it all before I go back to the one I'd already started.

I usually finish a 300 page book within 2 or 3 days depending on how much I'm reading it. I don't really read books during the weekdays because I'm really busy with school and studying and all that but I usually read a book a week because I'll read it during the weekends.

A really big book can take me 2 weeks to read sometimes. But if I am really into the story I can finish it in a few nights. Like the last book that I read..it was really good. It was around 700 pages and I finished in about a week or a little longer.

Ever since I graduated from college, I find myself reading more than ever before. I never used to read for pleasure while in school, as I was always busy with other activites. I can probably read a 500 page book in about a week. I have to take public transportation to work, so I can fit in a chapter or two a day and then read more at night. I recently started reading mystery/science/action thrillers - anyone reccomend some good titles?
