It usually takes me around 10 days to read a 300 page book. I used to read a thick novel a day but in the last years I'm dealing with some stuff and it's impossible be faster. Although when I'm not reading I always daydream and think about the book and the characters. XD

It depends. If I am really interested in the book, I will not stop reading it till its done. And sometimes I read the book multiple times
Last year I was much slower I read like 1 book every two weeks but now I read one book in like two days. Really depends on how busy I am tho
About 2 to 3 days. I read on an average 160 novels per year (around 400 pages each).
It depends on the langth and the type of book. A manga about two to three days and if its past 500 pages it will take me most of the month
If it’s a typical 300ish pages, I can finish it in like 2-3 days. That’s if I’m not working, doing chores or distracted by something else. If it’s a longer book like say 700ish pages it would be like a week. Now if it’s a book I am not really into and it’s meh, it’s like a week. So in conclusion, it ranges from 2 days to a week.
last year that I wasn't this busy with studying I would have finished one in a day but now it will take around a week to finish a book.
Well if it’s a really good book and over 500 pages, three to four days. Try to get between 100 to 200 pages a day
It depends a lot on the book! If I am hooked on the story it doesn't take much. If I am not loving it, it seems it takes forever...I can read a 600 page book in a day if I really am loving the story. Sometimes, if I am very busy with work or college, it may take up to 3 days.
If I am reading any book by George R.R. Martin, that ranges from 800 to 1200 pages, I will need a month (hate the writting style).
Other than that, a 2-3 days is what I need to read a book.
It depends on the book! I try to hit 100 pages a day, but if it's a high fantasy with a ton of names and places, I'll only get 50 pages in before tapping out. So, 2-5 days, with big epic fantasies sometimes reaching the 2 week mark!
Depends on the size of the book, what day of the week it is, I'm a very slow reader and on an average day I read roughly 30 - 40 pages worth.
i used read around 300-400 pages in about 2-3 days, but since my books lasted little to nothing i decided i needed to slow down to make my books last, so now i read 300-400 pages in about 7-10 days

it depends. During the vacation time, if I really love the book I could read it in two days. If it's while I still go to work it takes me a week

If it's while I still go to work it takes me a week"We went to France this year at the end of April for 3 1/2 weeks. I took 3 books which was not nearly enough. However, I was very lucky: the fnac bookstore at the Marseille train station had 2 shelves with novels in English (unfortunately most of it the usual dystopian, fantasy and SciFi), so I bought 2 crime novels which still turned out not to be enough. Next time I bring 6 books. :)
uh I switch between books so maybe 2-3 weeks?
with physical books, it depends on how long the book is, small texts, etc. With kindle maybe 2 days for a 300+ book. a day if less.
Depending on how many pages of the book & how busy i am. I can read a book in one day or it can take me three days
For me it can really vary. Sometimes I can read 100 pages a day so I can finish a book pretty fast but then I can go from that to only one chapter, so it really depends.
I'm usually listening to a book , Reading something on my kindle And a physical book. It seemed to finish the same time. Which could be anytime from a few days to a week
Wow, I do the same thing!! Kindred readers. Nice
if the story can grasp me then 2days
Between 2 and 10 days, depending on what it is.Nonfiction tends to take me longer, whereas certain authors (Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, John Scarzi, etc) tend to fly by in a couple days.
I'm currently on book 42, this year and this is week 26, so I guess my average is somewhere near 3 days, plus an afternoon?
Historical novels can take me up to 2 or 3 weeks.
I average a book a day if around 350 pages
3 days - 1 monthFactors:

Length
It honestly depends on how much I like the characters and the book or if I enjoy the book but just wanna take my time with it like I finished the shining in less than a week and I was on a trip and I also can finish a book in less than 24 hours like I did with Middle of the Night by Riley Sager
ah, Hermione, the bookworm. it usually takes my 2 days for a book with 3 pages, and almost week for 700 pages.
depends on the lenght if it's around 300-400 pages it takes around 3-4 days. If it's 700 and more it takes a week or more
depends on the story, the number of pages, the time I can spend for reading and my interest in the book. Nevertheless, I'm a slow reader
An embarrassingly long time. For really long books (400+) it takes me at least 2 weeks. I'm a slow reader
Usually 1 a week. I read mostly at night for about an hour maybe longer. 7 days a week. So more often then not I get a book done on average 5 days.
It depends. Depending how busy I am and how much I love the story, the character or the book. Usually I can read in one day and sometimes I can read two book at the same time and finished it in couple days or a week
It varies. Some books I feel like I should spend more time digesting so they can take months to a year (maybe two if it's big enough) like war and peace for instance, took me a while because I could only read so much at one time. I am stupid and have like ten books I'm reading then I'll read one entire new one in a night and do the same thing a few days later, so...
Usually lately it’s been a week or 2 but I used to read a book in 3-4 days 👌
Depends on the book and how busy I am in life. Generally 2-5 days. Most of the time I'm reading more than 1 at a time, so then it takes longer.
Depends on the book. If it immediately interests me and I want to keep reading it maybe a day or two but if it doesn’t it may take me longer.
Depends on the book. Physical books always take longer for me.
If it's around 300 pages, I can probably finish it in a long weekend. If it's really interesting and it's around 8-900 pages, maybe 2-3 weeks.
I can finish a book 2 to 3 hrs... It matters how long the book is and if I really like it.
I can usually read a good 50-100pages a Day on a busy day, but if I'm into the book or it's a slow enough day I can JUST read, I can get 200pages in the day
