I try to read a book a day - or if it's a big book - two days. I've read books in around 1 - 3 hours and I can manage to get through compelling books very quickly.

One hour. On this cite, I have reviewed books that are only about 100 pages long. My standard reading time is about 100 pages an hour, so it typically correlates to book length.

I read Harry potter and the goblet of fire in about 18 hrs in one day lol. That was pretty awesome. My mom said people were talking to me all day before they realized I heard nothing. Naha I was totally immersed in the world of HP!

I had finished a book in just 4 hours. I started reading it at 11 PM or so and kept reading it till 3 AM in the morning. I had a horrible headache to deal with afterwards. But yeah the book was quite short and a goodread.

I read about 300 pages a day. I'm really into fantasies. I recently finished the Souls of the Stone series in 3 days.

I think my most minimum time that I spent on a book, was around 18-19 hours total, reading a total of 5 books.

I tend to read over things a lot, so about 4-5 hours I think.

Well, I guess that depends on the number of pages and the amount of text. For me it was a wonderful picture book illustrating the natural wonders of the New England region.
