It would depend. I've read bite-size children's chapter books in 15 minutes, but I've got a nagging suspicion that most people wouldn't count that. lol
I've also read 300 page adult novels in 5 hours, but that's usually when I don't have much to do that day and the books really hold my interest. Typically I finish 2-3 books a week.

Wow ally, I had to look at a typical book I read and it is about 300 pages..We are pretty close, because I believe I have read these in one day before, but with kids, I do have occasional distractions, so it took me longer than 5 hours..I wonder if I could read one in 5 hours with absolutely no interruptions?? I'd love to find out sometime...

Melanie, you read two books in one day? How many pages or words??

Well, it depends on if it is a child's book or an adult book, but I have read an adult fiction book in one day. It was a story based on a real life event and I had to read it. I set down and read the entire book that day so that I knew the whole story at once. I enjoy reading and would do more if I could.

I think that it really depends on the book, and how much time I can spend on reading each book. Sometimes, it takes me no time at all, if it's a really small book. However, longer books will usually take me longer to read. I'm not an extremely fast reader, as a general rule though.

The fastest I have ever read a book has been one day. One Sunday I went to the book store and bought James Patterson's book The Beach. I brought it home and made a pot and read the entire book in one afternoon. The book was reveting and I couldn't put it down.
