How many books can you read in one week? Or will it take more than one week for you to finish a book?

In a week I can read at least two books. That is largely sufficient and more books in a week will get me saturated. However in regards to quite lenghthy books, it can indeed take more time to finish. However, if the book is very exciting, then its length can prove to be irrelevant. Remember that Harry Potter fans read such books in a single day in spite of them being quite lenghthy.

If it's an easy read, I can get through a book in a day or two. Some of the older classics take me longer because the writing doesn't flow the same as current books. So, I guess it really depends on what I'm reading, but I could fit 3 books in during the week with no problems.

If I am really motivated to read the book, 1. I am not a fast reader.

It depends on the book, but I normally only read before bedtime, so I usually read about a book a week, maybe a little more. It all depends on how tired I am before I go to bed with a book.

I don't read as much as I used to so I only read about 4 to 5 a week now. I love reading books, more than watching tv.

Depends on the book. Heck, I've usually got three or four on the go at once. Right now, I'm reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman, Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein, and Practical Demonkeeping by Chris Moore. Oh, and The Tao of Pooh, by whoever that's by ;)

I can read at least a book a day if I don't do anything else but read. I could read more if they were shorter books. In fact, I used to do that all the time. I would just devour books and read ALL the time and I mean that literally. It was all I did. I don't do that so much any more though because I have too many other things to do now.

It depends on how much stuff I have to do. But if I didn't really have too much to do I could probably read a book in a day or have a few pages left over for the next day. It would also depend on the number of pages that the book has.
