I can read a book in 40 minutes if I have read it before. if it's a new book, more like 1-1.5 hours is my fastest. No book takes me more than a day.

2-4 hours, depending on the length of the book.

Especially when I was a kid. I would check out 10 library books for a week during the summer and finish them all within 3-4 days.

I haven't changed much....

Most of the time I can read a book in a few hours, and have been known to read two books in one day. I was especially guilty with the Stephanie Meyers books, and my daughter and I read the whole series in under a week. Dean Koontz is a fairly easy author to read in a short period of time as well. Really depends on the book, author, and distractions.

I tend to read quickly. I can finish a book in a few hours. There are some books I just can't put down and will read into the night and then be surprised when I am reading by the light of the sun rising.

Personally I cannot wait to finish a book as the ending is always the best part. I can generally finish a 500 page book in 3-6 hours.

It depends on how long the book is but I tend to read really fast. It takes me 30 minutes to 2 days.
