Depends on how much you need to digest. How engaged you are and how much free time you have.

It takes me about a week to finish a 500 page book
But if I found the book very interesting it takes me about 3 days.

Depends. I can read about 100 pages per hour so in total time spent, about 5 hours. But that doesn't include stopping and starting. From time started to finished, anywhere from 3 days to a couple weeks.

a 500 page book? depends on the type of book. if its a quick read through sci Fi novel like Star Wars then I'll finish it in like half a week.

but if its a Stephen King book which some of his books are more than 500, then it'll take awhile for me to finish a Stephen King book
