depending on the subject matter and size of the book, about 2 to 10 days.

It depends on the book and if I'm in a reading slump or not
It depends on the book and if I'm in a reading slump or not
it depends on how long it is but usually for me it will take a day for about a 300-600 page book
Usually 1-3 days! Depends on the length💗
It depends on length and subject of the book. It took more than week to finish 'Sapiens' by Yuval but Witnessing the Sacred by S S Rai took me one day to finish, and still I keep handy as a ready reference to read randomly for better perspective on topics.
Like a week if it's good and 2 if I'm in a slump or the book is bad
It depends on if I'm reading a book that I hold in my hands or if I'm "cheat-reading" in audio form. If it's an audiobook 2 - 4 weeks, sometimes faster if I'm driving or sewing a lot. If I'm holding the book, probably around 2 months with few exceptions.
1-4 days I think it depends on the book and how I feel lmao

I WAS FEELING SO SLOWWWW WHEN I SAW 1-3 DAYS!! I THOUGHT I READ FAST, BUT THIS SEEMS UNREAL UNLESS THEY ARE SUPER SHORT... MAYBE IM JUST GETTING OLD...🤷♀️
It depends. Sometimes i read every single day bc of the storyline. When a book is catchy i can't stop reading & i want do read, read, read. Like, i can't stop.And then there are books where i read rlly slow bc it seems to be not really interesting. I had this issue with some of the stephen king books😅
I usually read around 4 sometimes 5 books a week. Books around 350 pages long I read in about a day & a half depending on how invested I am in the book & what’s going on in my life.
Life events always dictate when I finish...if I have all day I can read 350 - 400 pages in a day. Over 400 will take me 2 to 3 days.
Anywhere between an hour and a week depending on the size of the story. This summer I've been reading unusually slow because my neighbor introduced me to people who like to socialize... They're all surprisingly kind and generous. I count myself fortunate to have met them.
Of course it depends on how busy I am, how many ARC commitments I have and how much I'm enjoying the book- 2- 4days.
Several weeks to months unless its a great book. If the books are just so so it's so hard for me to pick them up to continue reading.
Fastest I’ve ever done is a day. My usual is 3 days if I’m really into a book but sometimes it takes me a week. It really depends on the book and if I’m in a slump.
1.5 days depends on if im in a reading slump/i like the book!
Five days to two weeks. It just depends.
Usually it takes me a week or two, but sometimes I finish in a few days… and other times it can take years.
Typically one week to two, depending on available free time
For a book between two-three hundred pages, generally a week.I have two, forty min train journeys to and from work (approx 30 pages each) plus maybe another 30 mins before bed.
a day, so maybe 5 hours if its only 500 pages
Depends on my schedule and what book it is. Some taking a little longer to read since I am a big mood reader and sometimes to need to switch to one of the other books I am currently reading. I normally have about 4 to 5 ebooks going and an audiobook and sometimes I have a physical book going as well.
I would say between 3 days to a week or so, depending on how much free time I have! Right now because of the federal shutdown, I’m on like a reading marathon haha
depending on the vibes and book.I read Musashi a Japanese classic with close to 900+ page in a week and read The trail in a month, 🤷🏾
Usually about a month, approximately a few months depending on how interesting I find it or how long the chapters are.
A day or less usually but I am a voracious reader and devour a good book in very little time plus I’m retired😂
I write during the day and read at night. Depending, a 350-page book takes about three evenings.
It takes me about 5 days to finish a 500 page book.
It depends on the book but actually I Read a 500 pages book on 5 days
usually a few days ! (but i'm an insomniac AND a bookseller so it helps haha)
It depends on the book. A Bentley Little book will take about 3 days, but the latest Stephen King book too me me 1 1/2 months. War&Peace took me 40 days to finish. I can only average 30-40 pages/hour so it depends on how much time I'm willing to invest.
Like others have mentioned, it does depend on the book. Generally, it can be from 2 to 5 days. Occasional 1 day-er.
500pg depending on interruptions 3 to 5 days. If I take a binge day, novella = 1 day
depends on how compelling of a book I am reading...
If a book is gripping, I would say two days. Otherwise five days.
any book less than 500 pages, usually takes three days. ..for more than 500 pages , it could take a week at most
Honestly depends on how into it I am. It can range anywhere from a couple hours to a couple weeks.
writing: maybe 6 months reading: 3-4 days, depends if I am writing something or not
If I have time to sit and read uninterrupted ... two to four hours for an average book. But mostly I'm lucky to be able to manage and read a book a day.
Since I'm a slower reader and I'm usually quite busy, it can take anywhere from a week to a month and a half
if i'm busy, 4-5 days, but if i'm not then 2-3 days 💓
Very good and page turner - 4 to 5 days Average - a week
Bad - 2 weeks or DNF
