How long do you usually read in one sitting? What's your usual longest/shortest stretch?

It varies for me. I might grab 5 minutes or I may go for the long haul and read into the wee hours.
It varies...anywhere from 15 min to 2 hours.
prob avg is 45 min to an hour but i can easily go 3 hours if i have nothing else to do
well, before I had kids, an hour or two. Now I read i 5-10 min sessions, and at night maybe 30-40 min. at a time.
I used to spend hours reading at at time, sometimes an entire day, but now that I spend 12 hours a day at work and my weekends either cleaning my disaster of a house or helping my mom, I'm lucky to fit in 20 minutes at night before I fall into a dead sleep. I sneak in a few minutes here and there at work, but my really great reading stretches are probably at an end until I find a new job that doesn't require a 2 hour commute (and if I can train my husband and roommates to not be slobs).
During the week, I will catch 10 min. when I have a break during the day. At night I read about 30 min-3 hours. Weekends I tend to read less even though I tell myself every damn week that I'm going to have a readng marathon one weekend night. I have read far longer than my normal, but I've never timed myself. In the hospital, literally all day so I guess 12-16 hours.

but i had to spoon feed him that one, and larry.....nothing
Average reading stretch? It depends on when The Cat is done with the lap.
I don't think I have rhyme or reason... sometimes it's minutes, sometimes many, many hours! I'm surprised to see many people only read for short spells. When I find a good book, I can't put it down, even if I know I'll be miserably tired the next day. haha
Thank-you, Jim. :) I'm loving it here!
Depending on the book, from ten minutes, to six hours.
