Reading a book in one day

Nothing wrong with that. It never takes me more than a couple of hours to finish a fictional book. A little longer for nonfiction, if it's outside my area of expertise and is fairly heavy material.

It is only bad if you are reading when you should be doing something else. (The mom in me here, LOL.) If you are meeting all of your responsibilities and just reading in your free time, then it is a great thing.

It's not bad. I do this sometimes, when I have the time. Just take breaks every once in a while for your eyes.

I love reading books in one day that means it was a good book and I couldn't put it down

When I was younger I would sit and do this with Nancy Drew books. Now that I am older, I don't have the time to read that much in one sitting and the books I choose are normally way too long for that. However, I would love to be able to do that again

I have done this many times. Sometimes I get into a book so much that I just can't put it down! However, I can only do that in the holidays or summer or something like that because I have too much other work to do...

I think its great, I believe that we should try to read as many books as possible we won't live forever! I get so into books that they fly by in a matter of hours. My husband doesn't think it's a good thing but he just doesn't understand.

I do this sometimes! I think of it as living a thousand lives. Growing up, my sister and I used to have reading marathon weekends. I'm not kidding. We picked the books together and then would swap so we could talk about them.

I've done this so many times. The fastest I read was a book of 200 pages in 2 hours. I loved it.. Reading brings you so much more than anything else..

If the story is captivating I easily do this, specially over weekends and holidays. Love it!

If a book is good (and I have the time) I will read a book in a day. Of course, it all depends upon the length too.

If a book is really captivating I will read it all in one day. But it's weird, because sometimes if I'm really enjoying a book I get afraid to finish it so I drag it out longer than I should. :3

If you are really into a book, it's easy to zone in on it and not put it down until it's finished. I wouldn't consider that a bad thing at all.

Sometimes I just can't resist. I've even gone to bed, couldn't sleep because of thinking about the book, and given in by getting up and finishing it. It is a little sad that the book is then finished, and I don't have it to go back to, but I tell myself that would happen any way.
