Books that interest me usually take a day but books that I have no interest in take me two or three days.

On average, I can read about 100 pages per uninterrupted hour.

It depends on the book I'm reading. Sometimes I can finish a book in a day, taking between 3-6 hours, especially if I can immerse myself in the book.

Usually, I’m a pretty fast reader, like 100 to 150 pages a day, but currently, I have been getting a LOT of school homework, projects, and such that I barely have time to read, though I manage to squeeze in about 50 pages or so. However, I read slowly if the book I am reading has a sequel or is art of a series that is about to come out soon. I try to make it last as long as possible so that I won’t have to wait too long to read the next book.

I depends on the book, if its really good a day or two for a thicker book, but usually I am a really slow reader and it will take me about a week to read a book. But it also depends on my schedule because I have to find time to read after homework and after school activities.

I'd say I'm quite a fast reader, but I think it depends on the book. If I'm really enjoying it then I race through it to find out what happens, but if I'm bored then it takes me longer because I only read it for short periods.

I can read very fast, but not when I can hear the TV in the background. I think reading is faster for me using a Kindle. I like to leaf through paperbacks to get an idea of what's upcoming; then, I can read the book much faster.

I can read a 300 page book in about 3-4 hours depending on how interesting it is.

I can usually read a book in one sitting. I do know that I read faster than my husband, but he tends to pick things apart more than I do.

That's probably how long it takes me. Or about a minute. I read quite fast when I'm on my own
