If I'm not distracted or don't have a lot to do, I can usually read 5-10 chapters. Well, if I'm enjoying the book.

It really depends.. if it's a book I'm really into, I can read a 500 pages book in one day. But if it's like a re-read I will most likely read about 100-200 pages a day. This is all when I don't have school, unfortunately I can't read much except homework when I have school, because anxiety takes over.
I used to read a book a day. I would go a few weeks doing that and afterwards I wouldn't be able to read another book for a few months! Which is just terrible. I finally began reading again and now I'm making myself think "take your time, enjoy the book" I used to just want to read as much as I could to clear off my shelves and up my "read" book count. I realized it was taking away from the books.
Now I read everyday here and there but I let myself put the book down much more often and not fret if it takes me a few days to read it all.
I read when I wake up, probably a couple of minutes just to get my mind to start working, then an hour during lunch break then when I get home I read for about 2-3 hours. But it depends on the book, if I'm really into it, I'd stay up until the wee hours of the morning just to finish it. :-)

I don't really have a certain time. I usually read whenever I can :)

pretty much the same here:)
pretty much the same here:)
I try to read whenever I can. I usually read for about two hours before going to bed, but whenever I have time during the day, I try to read!
I'm pretty sporadic. If I'm in a reading mood I read anywhere from 1 to 3 books in a day otherwise its 2 to 4 hrs. When I drive/clean I listen to books. If I stumble upon a really good series I normally plow through it within a couple days. But then I get side tracked by web browsing or watching various random TV shows online.
It usually depends on what I have on hand to read, but I typically read all day!
3-6 hours on holdidays or weekennds1-4 hours on school days
Depends 2-3 Hrs avg
4-6 Hrs when totally free
I try to read 3 or more hours a day but since im back in college that gets a little difficult at times and it kills me!!!

Well I'm currently obsessed with the LUX series at the moment but Sweet Evil trilogy has been a favorite for a while now.
You?
a lot.. :) I read a couple hours a day or something. :) most of it is before bed, though.
For me, it depends on the book. If it's a good one, I could read for about four or five hours a day average.
I don't read a lot during weekdays as I normally have college, so only a couple of hours before I go to bed (I cannot fall asleep if I don't read beforehand!). But during the weekend I could spend the whole day reading if the book is interesting :)
I don't usually have time on weekdays because I have school but if the book is really interesting and I have been waiting for it for months,I usually read when the class is boring in or in between classes. But on holidays or weekend, I can usually finis a book a day given that it's good, of course.
I could finish a book in a day and start another one and make it half through...
I usually read 2 or 3 chapters before sleep. But it depends on the story if I curious with the story I can read more than 3 chapters. Also, it depends on my mood too. I can read nothing for a month if I feel bored or lazy.
With a really good book I can read 5 hours or more! With the on eI'm currently reading... I can't even get past 20min :(
I read for sure at least 2 hours a day if not more during the weekdays. I read when I exercise on the bicycle machine. On weekends not so much as I spend most of the time doing stuff with the husband and friends.
I read at least 2 hours at night before I go to bed. Sometimes I read before I get up and sometimes during the day, it all depends on the day and the book. The minimum is 2 hours a day. The weekends I read more too.
An easier question would be: How many hours do I NOT read a day?
As much as i can fit in with two small children running around.
I read at least one hour per day, but sometimes as much as 6-8. Depends on the book (or books).
I read a book a day. But when I was working I was reading a book in 2 or 3 days because of the time shortage to read more.
I read in between work. It's what i do whenever I needed a break. I read while I'm on my way to and from work. I read before I sleep. I read whenever I can :)
I usually try to read for an hour or two a day during weekdays. But on weekends, I read all day.
I try to read between classes in school when I can. I read on the weekends if I have time as well :)
Depends on the day like if i am going to college then 1-2 hours if its holiday i cant countbut it also depend on book some books are so addictive you cant put them down so at that time i prefer to finish the book instead of messing with my head ;)
Well, if you asked my husband how much I read, he would say WAY too much :) I do, I read a lot. I do nails in a salon, so when I'm not busy, which lately has been often b/c of the weather, I read. I don't sleep well, so I read... I have done three and four books a day, depending how good they are and how long they are. I also take spells, where I just can't stop...or jus have to finish one more page, or one more chapter!
if i'm in school i'll probably be finishing a book a day because i'm reading at lunch and after school and on the bus home and whenever i don't have to do anything in class because i don't really have friends to talk to. at home i'll just read if i feel like it, which sometimes i barely read, sometimes i get through two books a day.

On vacations and weekend I read four hours a day, at the least. But the rest of the year, when I'm going to school, I usually read at night, which results with a serious lack of sleep. But I can't help it. I am a one passionate reader and if something really intrigues me there is almost nothing that would stop me from reading until I find out whatever that is. Basically, I spend every free moment reading, except when I'm out of my house with my friends.
My record is reading two books of 200 pages in a day.

I'm a college English prof (composition and literature), so I have to read a seemingly endless stream of essays every week. Not fun. That's why my recreational reading--8 hours or so--is so very important to me on the weekends!

I read about 300+ pages on a good day(stress and busy free), and then i read only about 100-150 pages on a bad day(where I am busy or stressed).
on a bad day 1 chapter.
on a good day, 2 whole books.(yes I read fast)
on a good day, 2 whole books.(yes I read fast)
I usually read when I'm on my way to school, work or any place... but not in home, because when I try to read in my bead or in a sofa... I fall asleep... always .-.
i usually read for 3-5 hours a day sometimes more. usually i can finish a 300-500 page book in two to three days if i am really interested in it. i read mostly in the morning when i wake up , after dinner, or before i go to sleep
I read as I breathe. I'm truly a bibliophile.
I try to read a book a day if I'm not busy. But if I am, I read a couple chapters. Usually I end up reading and procrastinate with hw so
Since I have school It takes me about two days to read a book, but when I'm not in school i can read from 1 to 4 books a day
I try to read for 1-2 hours every day, usually at the end of the day when I can put my feet up and relax :)
I used to read a book a day all the time but it really overwhelmed my brain and turned it to mental moosh. Plus I didn't feel I enjoyed the books as much because one blurred into another. Now I take my time normally 1-3 days for each book, no rush.
