I am a one-sitting reader so I can finish a book with 400-500 pages for like 2-3 hours. But I know that sometimes just isn’t possible, it depends on my plans for the day. But as much as possible I try to finish a book in just one sitting because taking a break while reading never really worked for me. I go restless. :D
I typically read a couple hundred pages a day. I always have multiple books going at the same time, so it isn't always a book a day. I confess that my eyesight is NOT 20/20 as it used to be so I like a larger font so I don't have to wear glasses.
I'm a fairly slow reader. On average, I read about 100 pages a day, but if I really like the book I might read 200. It really just depends on what I'm doing that day and how much I like the book.
If a book is brilliant then I will read till my eyes bleed! I read the entire Game of Thrones series in two weeks for example, on average I have only a few hours to read realistically so I'd say an 'average' book in maybe 4/5 hours but that can be split over 3 days.
If a book is awesome and I have the time. It would take me about 4 1/2 hours to read a book that was 501 Kindle pages.
I'm a fairly fast reader. For a murder mystery (300 ish pages with normal font) it just takes a few hours, sometimes I can read 2-3 a day depending on what else I do that day. Historical fiction, fantasy, YA, and other fiction novels take me about a day. And historical non-fictions take me a little longer to read because I like to take notes and process what I'm reading. Nothing makes me happier than to sit outside with a good book!! :)
Wha..... Am I the only one who has a short attention span?? :D I really need to step up my game and try to finish a book....in a week... :S
I typically read about 60-80 pages per hour on fiction books. If it's nonfiction, I usually read at a slower rate than that. Just depends I guess.
I do not count the hours but a 500page book only takes a few hours. If I am busy with something, it might take longer up to a week.
Im not sure how big is the font but, it was i guess average ( not too small or too big), once i read a book of 500 pages in 6-7 hours :)
If im really getting into the book and just can not put it down then I could easily read a book of 500 pages in 6 hours at normal font.
It depends on my mood and on the book. I can go to a speed of up to 1,000/ 1,200 words per minute (3/4 pages) if I am in a good mood and with the right book, if I find the book uninteresting, I slow down enormously, and I do leave books unfinished.
I'm a slow reader so probably I'll need 5 or 6 hours to finish a book with 300 pages. A book with less pages, let's say 250 pages, I can finish it for 2 or 3 hours. So it really depends on the book and my mood too.
Depends on the book. If it's a total blah, it takes me about a week because I wouldn't give up on it. Then I hate myself for holding on to the hope that it would get better. If I'm into the book, it takes me about 5 or 6 hours. If I'm really into it, it takes me about two days. There are just some books that prod me to read some paragraphs over and over again just for sheer enjoyment :)
Oh I forgot, number of pages = 500-800, font size = I guess 10?
Depends on the language, actually. I can only read like 60 to 70 pages of normal sized English novel in an hour.
But it will only take like 5 hours for me to finish an Indonesian novel that's about 500 pages.

Most books I read contain 300 pages or more. It usually takes about a month to finish one; thanks to four adult children, four grandchildren, a fairly active social life, and a penchant for spontaneous road trips.
Depends on my state of mind, how busy I am and how difficult the book is to read. Bestseller kind of stuff with easy language and an exciting plot, in my mother tongue, when I feel fresh, I can read at a minute / page rate.
The fastest I've read a think book(Delerium by Lauren Oliver 441 pgs smallish font) was in 3hours I could not put it down.
And, please forgive my turtle-reading skills. I know you probably read like 700 pages for 2 hours or less, but, oh well. :)
