I take very long to read. I can't read in one sitting. I read books more as a sleeping pill just before going to sleep. Whole day I am busy and when I hit the bed, I pick up my book and can hardly read a few pages before sleep overcomes me and I have to put it down. Yes, when i am travelling I love to have a book and read it continuously till it is over or the journey is over. I do not do rapid reading and read each line and each pageso it takes me a little longer than normal.

About a day to day and a half. I thought i was a fast reader til i read that some could read that many pages in less than an hour.

well it really depends.. like how good the book is and how much time per day i have to read.. so the time can really vary..

Exactly what diacedez said. I am a fast reader, so if the book is really good and the story is moving, I cna finish it within two days once I get enough time to read it and little or no interuptions. I mainly read at the beach, or just late night when everyone is in bed and the place is quiet...or go for a walk in the park and as long as I have some fruits...then it is a go.

depends on the book, how much time I've got - what else is going on - I could do it in a day or so if all other factors were good.

If the book is interesting I can finish it in one day. I like to read a lot. I want to know the whole book. If I don't finish, my mind will somehow stuck at the book. I can't think anything else beside finish the book. Therefore I will finish read it in one day.

If it is really interesting and I have nothing else to do except to read it, I think I can finish it within the day, but if it is not good and not that interesting, it would take a lot of time for me to finish the book or probably I won't finish it.

I'm not a book lover, and if even i manage to read, i will lose interest in it very fast, so at times, i might not even finish reading the book.. haha =D As far as i remember, in my past 25 yrs, i have only finished reading just 1 book, and for that, i spent 1 week on a 200+ pages book.. lol =D since than, i dun read books anymore because it's too boring for me.. lol

It depends on the book. If it is an interesting one, I might finish it in two days, doing nothing else but reading the whole day and night. If it is a boring one, then might take for up to a week.

well, honestly that depends on the content of the book. if its maths, i'll probably never reach the end. i remember i took 5 hours with one of the first harrypotter books which was approx 300 pages. how about you? please tell us.

Hi, it depends. If it is very interesting, I would most probably read it within a day. However, if it's slow-moving or boring, I could take forever...maybe not bother to finish it!

If the book is interesting 5-6 hours. If not I take about two three days.

hi! hmmm, im a fast reader, a 300-page book takes me about 50 minutes to more than an hour or two, it depends on how interesting the book is, less than 3 hrs when i dont really like the book. i've been used to reading fast since i was a kid.

It depends on how interesting the book is and the time. I usually finish 5 pages in a day because i have a work to attend to. i don't read much at night because i have ap roblem with my eyes.
