It all depends on the day. I have to read everyday, even if it is a chapter only. For me reading helps me relax. I always have either a book or my nook on me, sometimes both. There is always a book in my car just in case I need one. During my semesters at school I will read when I have down time or nothing to do.

When I'm not very motivated I get about thirty pages done but when I like the book or am dealing with insufferable boredom I read roughly sixty to seventy pages.
Depends on the book! Sometimes if I can, I'll read an entire book in one day! (But it has to be GOOD). I've lost a lot of sleep from reading books all night, haha.
I always read at least 100 pages per day, unless I just plain don't have time (but that is, thankfully, rare). If I can, I read all day, stopping every 50 pages to go do something that is required, like unloading the dishwasher or folding laundry, et cetera. So long as I meet that 100-page goal, I allow myself to turn my attention to a new task.
I read anywhere from 2 to 3 hours on weekdays. Normally that equals to 200-300 pages a day :)

I try to read 2-5 hours a day. If I have nothing to do, or I take a day for myself, I can read all day.

It sounds silly, but if I don't, I'll get lazy and watch TV. I never used to do that! I blame netflix!
Lol Erin :) That's not silly. You are just easily distracted. I only watch TV about 2 or 3 hours a week (just my absolute favorite shows).
I wish I was like that! haha. I have no self control *may be eating chocolate as she types this*.
I read a book a day usually. That means if it's a 600 page book I will finish it. I am a fast reader and the only time I put a book down is if it's boring or I have to work or workout. But even with work and working out I can finish that book. That's why I always say you can tell how much I disliked a book by how many days it took me to read.
if i do like one book, i read it in one day, but usually i read 250 pages
I usually read about 2-3 hours a day on school days, and a lot more on weekends. (:
Well ... If book is good ... I can complete two in a day

Ashamed, but school does not give me time to read everyday unfortunately. I try to manage a book a week now. Sometimes I can read 3 or 4 but that is if I don't get homework. *sigh* these days I read a book a week. In my holidays I read a lot though haha

Schools terrible thnq god am out of it Lolz
I try and read as much as i can, there are just so many books out there i feel utterly overwhelmed!
omg!!! I read like 3-4 hours everyday I just love to read!!!
Anywhere I can for as long as I can. If I forget my kindle or a book I will read all the signs around me, over and over. I'm like a word junkie, if it's written anywhere I need to know it. I know far too many ads as a result.

I'm probably reading at least an hour a day, and on weekends I read two to four hours.
at least a hour hopefully more depends on my homework and chores

Maggie wrote: "I'm probably reading at least an hour a day, and on weekends I read two to four hours."Probably the same for me, i just wish i had more hours in the day :)
Hi there it really depends on me i can read from 2 pages to 2 books depends how i feel on the day.
I'm always reading, I never go anywhere without a book or my nook. If I don't have to go anywhere or do anything I just sit and read. I read a 400 page book in one sitting once.
I read about 1-3 hours a day including school reading. So maybe 100-150 pages of my leisure books everyday
alot. unless i'm really busy. if it's just a normal day, maybe two novels, but if you count school, then yeah
I try to read at least an hour a day, but it is usaually real late at night around 11 to 12 pm. That's my time.
I usually read two hours or so a day... and I usually have two different books going!
Lol! Yeah I usually read two books at a time as well. :)
I usually read everyday but I don't have a goal for myself when it comes to it. I don't put deadlines in what I read. I also skip books when it gets a bit boring for me but I make it a point to try and finish them.

Jennifer wrote: "Lol! Yeah I usually read two books at a time as well. :)"I actually finished 3 books last night!
Yay!
I read entirely too fast
I usually switch back and forth between two books. Sometimes I have a night book and a day book if one is scary. Because I'm a wimp :D

Happy to hear I'm not alone! I especially have to do this with any Stephen King books! :D

That's how I read his books too. Unless I want to finish then I read it at night cause I will stay up.

lol, I'll stay up after I finish too! They're so scary! :D I made the mistake of reading IT before I went to bed one night. Yeah....bad idea.
Erin wrote: "lol, I'll stay up after I finish too! They're so scary! :D I made the mistake of reading IT before I went to bed one night. Yeah....bad idea."Wow, same here, sometimes. I read A Great and Terrible Beauty after dark a few months ago, and at parts I was so scared... :)
I have this bad habit that once I start a book I have to know what happens! I sometimes read all day with just little breaks to make dinner and spot clean my house if I am not reading I am writing. Then at night I find myself thinking just another 10 minutes and it will be 2hours later I'm finishing the book! Or I wake up at 5am to pick it up and start reading again
