How long does it take you to read a book?

As others have said, depends on the book! Typically a few days, but again, depends on what else I have on and how gripping the book is. Some I'll race through and finish in one session, others will take me weeks.

If I looove the book then maybe a few days or weeks, but I am terrible at finding the time so it could take me months to a year lol

same here.. i could binge on a YA humor read in a week but when it comes to genres where the amount of jargons increase then ye i'd pause for months..
these days tho, its more like im starting to like slow reading, cause then i get to think about the character's interests, choices and see if i could perhaps relate..

Some people can sit down and finish a book in four hours and some take days, weeks or even months to finish a book. On average, how long does it take you to finish a book? :smile:

rhetorical question, everything depends on the book and the speed of reading

I like to think that I read a lot but with Mocks coming up I haven't been able to read as much as I would have liked :colondollar:

it relies on the purpose of reading the book. Some people tend to read books because they like reading books and other to learn things or take the most important take aways. Coupled with a busy lifestyle, I would suggest that by reading 20 pages a day, mathematically you can read 30 books a year. So, I would so about a week or 2.

It varies a lot for me. It depends on the books. Certain books (especially books by certain authors) i can read in 3/4 days. Others (like the peter kay one im reading now) is taking a few weeks.
