Of course, it really depends on the book. But if I really like the book, I can finish it in two or three days. Yes, even the super long Harry Potter books. When I get involved, I just can't put them down. Unfortunately, the book I'm reading right now isn't quite like that.

It depends on what I have to do that day or night. I can finish a 300-ish page novel in just one night (a couple of hours).

Depends on the book and how long it is - if it's a really good one and not much more than a couple of hundred pages I can read it in a day.

If it's a really good book, I can finish it in a day. If not, then it usually takes me a couple of weeks. I always finsish a book once I start it, even if it's bad because I think it can only get better. Usually it doesn't. lol

It depends on how long the book is, how interesting it is and how much time I can get to read it.

Depends on how much time I have on my hands. I enjoy a good book but have not been able to get into one since I was pregnant. All of my time is spent taking care of my baby girl. God Bless

If it's a good book it can be really thick and I can read it in a day. I can read very fast and once I'm hooked I don't put them down.

A couple of days, at the most. I love to read and I barely ever watch tv. Everything I do watch on tv is recorded so I can skip the commercials.

Usually I can read a novel in about three to four days, unless I have lots of spare time which in that case could be a day or two. My mom, man can she pound out a book in mere hours. I gave her my book, the one about to be published and she read and helped edit it in about two weeks (This included a read from front to back and then edit. My editing took me over a month and a half...6 times (8 months of editing was 5 months more than the time for to write it.)

That depends. Because if it is a very interesting one I'd try to finish within 1-2 hrs. If it is a boring kind of one and something that I HAVE to read somehow, i will read while in the toilet. (LOL)

It depends how much time I have to read in any given week. I read anywhere from 1 to 5 books a week. I love to read!
