It really depends on how interesting the book is. If it's a really fascinating, page turner kind of book, it will only take 4 or 5 days. But if it is a heavy, difficult or boring book it will take a month or more lol.

I love to read, and read a lot, I'm not sure how long it takes me to read a book as it veries. I don't read as much in the winter as my hands get too cold. I would say it usually takes me a week or two to finish a book. I do needlepoint and stuff also, and now that I have a computer I'm on it a lot, all of which takes up the time I would normally spend reading. I'll read anything, as someone said, even cereal boxes, and I have a lot of people give me books. I haven't bought a book in years. For Christmas I always get a novel by Stephen King. He is probably my favorite author, but I like James Pattersen and others also. What I like about their books is the length of the chapters. They usually aren't very long and it seems to go quicker.

If any book is from my favorite topic then I try to complete it as soon as possible, but normally I take two to three days to complete a book.

It usually takes me about an hour. If the book is really long, like a thousand pages it takes a few hours.

Yes, it depends on the book and its content. I once read "Gone with the wind" within a week and "Pride and prejudice" in one day. If I'm interested in a book, I will read it whenever, except meal time, sleep or work time (they are necessary.) Because I'm always concentrated on it and cannot help stopping. Haha...sometimes I'm not good at self-control indeed. And I even keep reading in quilt with flashlight at night. It's quite enjoyable! But I really enjoy reading!

I love reading books. I am a certified bookworm. As much as possible I want to finish a book in just one sitting. I can enjoy it and understand better if I will finish it in just one reading.

Yes, it depends on the kind of books. For the favorate book, it will take little time to finish it although the book is thick. In contrast, if the book is boring and not intresting, it will take a long time to read it.

it depends on how interesting the book gets as i read it. if i find it boring i may never finish it and if it generates interest i might as well finish it in couple of days. i finished harry potter and half blood prince in three days.

Depends of the book. I usually spend 2 hours a day reading my favourite books at night and a little bit more on my weekends but it really depends on how you love the book you're reading what inspires you to continue reading more and more
