When I have the time, I usually finish a book within a week, depending on how thick it is. But if I don't have the time, I seriously finish a book within three months, LOL =) What about you? Can you finish a book within a day? a week? a month?

I cannot ever finish a book in a day.
If I am really interested, it might take me a week, and if I am not very much interested... it could take me months... or the book would just probably be sitting in the shelf or elsewhere for years, haha...
Nowadays, I can't even find time to finish my reading,it just seems like whenever I have free time, I would be in front of the computer, that is 99.9% accurate.
I know it's not good, I think I should try to catch up on my reading, probably get a good book to read..

Haha! I agree with the "bookwould just probably be sitting in the shelf or elsewhere for years".. it happened to me twice. I didn't like the book I was reading that's why I didn't finish it anymore. Keep on reading, it'll increase your knowledge and will broaden your imagination =)

Depending on the week anywhere from 2 to three days. I love reading and try to make time for it since is my way to destress myself. So the more I am stressed the more that i read.

It depends on the book. If it keeps me on the edge of my seat, I would be finishing that book in a week. But I usually finish a book within two weeks. :)

Many, many times I've spent an entire day reading an entire book, doing nothing else. It's probably one of my favorite things in the world to sit out on the deck with a book that pulls me in and spend the entire day reading in the sun.

If I don't have a lot of time, it can take me anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

This post really made me want to buy a bunch of new books to read! I haven't read any non-school related material in ages.

I'm flattered! hehe.. I encourage you to continue with your hobby. Happy reading!

Depending on how thick a few hours to a day if I don't set it down. Two days to a week if I don't have time.

I tend to be able to read a 200 - 400 pager within two or so hours ^_^ it may take longer if I'm not terribly interested, if I'm super busy, or if the book itself is longer.

But it is rare for a book to take me days to read.

*feels weird since no one else said hours*

wow! you must be one heck of a bookworm! i didn't include hours i didn't expect anyone reads a 200-400 pages of book in a few hours! hehe.. sorry =)

Well it just depends on how exciting the book is. If it is a thriller that keeps me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happens next, I will stay up till the early morning hours reading. In fact a week or so ago, I started reading a book on a friday afternoon and finished it on Sunday. It was such a good book that I neglected a lot of things around that house (house work) just so I could find out what happened next. It was almost 400 pages, but I didn't want to put it down.

I can actually relate to you! I read one novel and I just couldn't put the book down! I just kept on reading it and I didn't realize i've been reading for 8 hours straight!

Depends on the book. If it's well written and light, a couple hours. I'm one of those people who tends to be in the middle of several books at once, though; some fiction, some non fiction, some for school, etc. I also tend to read faster than most people because I grew up focusing on the line of text rather than the individual words, which can turn into a comprehension problem but overall helps. I'm lucky, though, I had parents who taught me a love of reading early.

it all depends on the book that i am reading. if the book is really interesting, i can probably finish it in about 2-3 days. if it is a book that is just ok, then it takes me a bit longer. there was a book that i read in two days that i just couldnt put down, it was called "shes come undone". a freind recommended it to me, and as soon as i got into it, i had a hard time finding time to do anything else. i would go to school, come straight home and lock myself in the room to read it. just recently i took another book out and got into it, it took me about 3 late nights to finish reading that one. it took me so long becuase now i have a son to take care of during the day. i only have time to read when he is asleep.
