message 2: by Christine (new)

Christine Mathieu | 948 comments I read 2 to 3 books per week, they usually have less than 400 pages.


Bella(✨❤️Hopeful Romantic❤️✨) | 251 comments 1 day maybe less :) If I enjoy the book. If I don’t enjoy the book, it’ll last me longer than that.

Sam K (zutara123) | 251 comments i like to spend at least a week reading a book so I can really soak in everything that's happening in it.

But then you can only read 52 books per year.


message 6: by Ruth (new)

Ruth | 26 comments Usually 1-3 days. About 1 week if I'm trying to get over with a reading slump.


ᴍᴀ́ʀᴄɪᴀ   ฅ՞•ﻌ•՞ฅ (missrodrigues2000) One week or 3 to 4 days depends on the number off pages...


message 8: by Chris (new)

Chris St Laurent | 120 comments Depends on the book, the length and how much I like it(can’t put it down) also what is is going on in my life(family,work).


message 9: by Brian (new)

Brian | 186 comments Definitely depends on the book. After working 10/12 hours a day...my eyeballs are only good for about a buck fifty...or less...if the book requires much interpretation.


message 10: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (iniysa) | 149 comments Depends on how I'm reading it.
I can generally do one audiobook a day.
If I am reading my e-book between customers, I can get anywhere between 10-25% of the book read in a shift, depending on how busy it is and how long the book is.
If I'm off, I can read any kind of book in a day.

Brianna (brithebookbabe) | 59 comments Depends on the length and if I have something going on but typically 1-3 days.


message 15: by Kylin (new)

Kylin Swearingen | 55 comments Depends on a lot of different factors:
If I have a lot of free time then I will within a week
If I really enjoy a book I can easily it in 2 or 3 days regardless of the length
If a book is really boring it can take me two months to finish a 200 page book
If it’s one of my favorite I’ll finish a 600 page book in under a week
If I don’t feel like reading or am really busy it will take me about 2 weeks

I do usually read books that are about 500-800 pages which take a little longer to get through. If I'm reading a book under 400 pages, I can finish that in about 2-3 days. On top of that, I read like 2 or 3 books at a time plus a few graphic novels and manga as well as one audiobook. So, I typically average a little over 200 books per year.


message 18: by Christine (new)

Christine Mathieu | 948 comments I also read 3 or 4 books parallel. I have one book in the living room which I keep reading on our TV free afternoon every week. I read another book before falling asleep. I have one more book in the car for traffic jams and waiting at the doctor's office.
And when we fly to Europe, I always put 3 or 4 hardcover books in my hand luggage and big suitcase, one for the flight and the others for the evenings at the hotels.
