Is it possible to read a full book in just one day?

For me... Obviously that's perfectly possible (most of my friends - frequent readers - do this so often that I confess to being impressed at times). If the book is well written, has an interesting story with great characters and remains that way for all the other pages until its end, the reader is increasingly willing to read and practically can't stop until it ends. This has happened to me several times, and one of the books (in fact, a saga... because there were 3 books) that I could read faster was "The Hunger Games". I'm completely addicted to those books and I was able to read all 3 books in just 2 days. I practically devoured them in 48 hours.

I can complete a book in a day, as you said it must be interesting. I tend to read a book at slower pace because I don't want it to end..

It depends on number of pages and print size.

It depends on the book. There are books I cannot put down so want to read it to the end or if a thin book I probably could finish in one day if really catches my interest. Most books I read and then put down and then pick up again because I do others things besides read.

If it is a book that I am really into then yes I can finish it in a day.

Thats impressive. I could never do that, once i tried and it made me headache so badly. So mostly, i finish the novel that I read is approximately 3-4 days.

It depends on the number of pages and how much interesting the book is.

It is possible, depending on the book. Although knowing me, I would get just too distracted and probably wouldn't be able to do it.

I think it is possible. If there is no enough time, I can't read the book.

It all depends of the depth of the book. If it is a short novel, there is nothing to it. But if it is a complicated book like philosophy, then, it is another story.

I know the feeling. I can do that too. When a book is that good, I can even skip meals all day just to finish it.

Easily if it the right book and I have time, the problem with those sort of books is I always feel sad to have finished reading them.
