How many books do read in a day?


message 2: by Elysia (new)

Elysia (elysia_rae) It usually depends on the type of book, like if it was a graphic novel or a book like ''The Hunger Games'', but I typically read three to four books on a slow day but other times I can read up to six or seven. It just depends on how long the book is. :)

Hannah | 2 comments It depends how much time I have and how good it is and the length of the book. If it is a brill book I could read about 1/2 long books a day or about 3 short books.


message 4: by Jadyn (new)

Jadyn (fldsmdfr) I read three to four a day if their under two-hundred pages, but if their longer, only two a day. If it's a book one-hundred pages or less, I could read six or seven a day. It depends on the type of book, and the time I have to read.

I read most of my books at night because I'm really busy during the day, so in a day, maybe thirty or forty pages. But at night, I can read about two 400-600 page books a night.

Elevetha  | 11058 comments I read mostly at night as well. I usually average about one 500 page book a day/night.

Jadyn (fldsmdfr) I read any chance I get!

I prefer reading slowly to devour and taste it completely, so usually just one book a day. When I have a busy school week, it could took me a week!

Chantae B. I read really slow and like ten books at a time ( people always ask if I get confused no I don't) so it would be a miracle if I read a chapter book in a day

Rowan *call me Red* (rowanmoss) | 65 comments Wow you read a lot of books! I feel a little ashamed, I haven't been reading lately. It's usually a book a week. I don't get that much time to read. But that will change this summer.

Rachel (starjoy899) 1 per day
I can read 4 books in a day

O_O How can you even read that many in one day?? It usually takes me two or three days to read a 300-400 page book. Not that I am reading all day - I have school/work/plenty-of-other-stuff that takes time away from reading.

I am a slow reader though and would not mind getting through books(textbooks included) a little faster. Just yesterday, I was googling how to speed read. I think it will take me a while to increase my speed to speed reader level....

I can read like Elle said, but I have to have large chunks of time. If I am balancing my "normal" life give me a couple days for 300-500 page books because I only read an hour or less.

I know people who skim, and say they read a bunch of books, but I don't think skim reading is the same as reading every word...

It's totally fine! I have no issue with how fast someone reads, they are still great to talk about a book with :)


message 18: by Arbaaz (new)

Arbaaz Khan (arbaazkhan1999) | 143 comments and there is a message I want you all to remember, don't skim it. why skim if you want to actually "read" it?


Theodosia of the Fathomless Hall (taelianaofthewind) | 1580 comments If it's a day full of reading, without being interrupted by sundry things(e.g. I'm looking at you Goodreads :D), then...four? If I am really lucky that is. Normally about six-hundred pages...

Arbaaz Khan (arbaazkhan1999) | 143 comments seriously? six hundred pages? that's hell a lot

I would like to have the time that you have :) I read during lunch and that is about it! (I mean you could comment that I could read instead of being on Goodreads, but I am doing other stuff that has to be done and just have Gooodreads pulled up in the background).
