It took me 2 years to finish 'Fangril by Rainbow Rowell' because it's a fan-fiction novel and I am not fan of it.

About a month for The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien, as I was at work every day and my reading time was too meager.

I have read a book for an entire month and a few weeks. My schedule was filled up and the book was not very impressive.

So far the longest for me to finish a book was 2 to 3 days.

It took me to finish Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen perhaps three weeks or a month because I had a busy schedule in school.

I started reading ‘The Dark Half’ by Stephen King, but got so busy with other things I just couldn’t carry on with it. I am going on 5 months now 😳

A month and counting :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

It's a non-fiction book given to me as punishment by my Dad. I fall asleep every time I pick it up because it's so bland and lacks a soul.

Maybe I've become too obsessed with my romance and adventure books :wink:

The longest time I remember I spent reading a book I was serious with was a week. It was a long book.

Crime and Punishment-it took me years. I tried to read when I was young but couldn't. Recently I picked it up again and finished it.

Well it wasn't really a book but a series. I didn't know it was apart of series and only found out a couple years later.

Longest took me months because I was super unmotivated.

A little over 6 months. I kept reaching out to read and finish other books while I slowly dragged that one.
