How long does it take for you to read a book? - General

Holy shit you guys are slow, I recently read a 1200 page book in about 2 days.

-snip-

Depends on the book. I have an Average reading speed of 150 page an hour, that's if i'm reading quickly. a 300-400 page book takes me about two and a half hour to finish.

it takes me a day to read just one page

If I really like the book it usually takes only a few days to a week, but if I don't really care for it or only read it 'cause I have nothing else it can take months.

It totally depends on my interest in the book, usually I don't have much time to read unfortunately, if I'm not out with my friends/girlfriend, I'll be playing a game, or on the interwebs or something, so usually if I am reading a book, I'll read for an hour or so before I go to sleep, on the other hand, if I get very interested, I will read much more in the day. So for me the time it takes for me to read is variable, usually between a week, to a month for an averaged sized book.

Depends on the book. A small good book takes a day. Large good books a week. Boring books usually take a few weeks/months.

I read a 500 something page book in 2 days. It's a very good book.

I read 600 hundred pages in 4 hours. When I was in fourth grade. Edit: Well, I read The Hobbit twice because it was so good, so I don't know if it counts.

It can take me a day to a week to read a book. I think I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in a day.

[QUOTE=Confused111;19518943]Huh. I don't know why, but I feel that either you've got as many brain synapses as a beach has grains of sand, or you're lying.[/QUOTE] 600 pages of pictures.

If it's a bad book, or if I'm not interested, I can 1000 pages or more in 2 to 4 hours. If it's a good book and I'm interested, I usually finish the book within an hour. I'm a really fast reader.

[QUOTE=Confused111;19518943]Huh. I don't know why, but I feel that either you've got as many brain synapses as a beach has grains of sand, or you're lying.[/QUOTE] I agree, although I used to read 1 Deltora Quest book a day in grade 4. I didn't have anything to do besides read though. Nowadays, I read a 700 page book in one day. I was really into it. And I read the Deathly Hallows in one and a half. Started reading at 11 in the morning, read til 2 the next.

[QUOTE=Jund;19519112]Well, I dunno, The Hobbit is about 300 pages, and the second time is sorta skimmed it to the big important scenes, but skimming still counts as reading, right?[/QUOTE] No. I've skimmed things, and it's gotten me into quite a bit of trouble.

I'm pretty fast yo.

I don't read books because i'm smart.

I also read it really late at night. If you like a book but have no time to finish it, read it late at night. Ne distractions. There was only 1 light on in my entire house, which was my desk lamp. Normally I would have pissed my pants if it was so dark when I was 9, but the book sucked me in so much that I was too focused on the book that I didn't even notice. I dunno what happened, around the middle of the book, it was like I didn't notice anything from the real world and sort of created a world of my own in my head. Very awesome.

Well, I read all 7 Harry Potter books in a week, 3 times.

I read the green harry potter book in less than six hours. the big one

I read about 950 words per minute. I got sick and tired of having nothing to read after finishing books really quickly so I just download them onto my old iPod now and read them on its tiny screen.

I read a 500 page book in about a week; I don't really care to spend an entire day reading.

i read [b]over 9000[/b] books in a day i am epic :smug:

I lose interest very fast when reading a book nowadays, I use to be able to read a shitload before. I just stop reading and never read a book again for a while.

I finished Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons in 2 days.

Probably 100+ pages an hour if I'm enjoying reading. When I sit down to read it'll take me about ten minutes to read like 5 pages because I'm usually not up to speed with it, but as I get into it I hasten.

in b4 OVER 9000

I read about a 350-page book a week, or so. I only read at school.
