Hmmm, books I've read in one day...
Rose Madder, The DaVinci Code, A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Old Man and the Sea (but that one is pretty short...)
I read pretty fast. I've always enjoyed reading and practice quite often.

Just general reading, a whole lot, not sure how many pages. If it's technical takes me longer.
Sometimes just to challenge myself I'll pick up a technical book about a subject I know nothing about. I go through it word by word. Sometimes having to look up most of the information online or in the dictionary.
That takes foreeeeeeevvvverrrr. Usually it's nothing I'll ever need to know or use but it forces me to
keep my brain engaged.

I love reading but both my husband and myself are homeschooling our 14 year old boy and we just love it! So at the time it would take me over 2 weeks to read a 200 page book as we are very busy.

200 pages in a day or more depending on the level of my concentration.

I'm a very slow reader. Although on my way I memorize it, remember tons of quotes after years. In oppose to my mom, who can swallow a book per night, but in the morning she doesn't remember what was it about.

I can read a 200 page book
(small size) in 2-4 hours,
if it's "light material".
(meaning no complicated
specialistic science
language and mathematical
formulas)
That's slow actually.
.
I'm still trying once in
a while to learn a bit about
the speed reading thing, but
it takes some time.

Well, it all depends on the kind of book Im reading.
I was reading a 482pg book and finished it by the third day because it was just too addicting to read. I couldn't set it down because i wanted to know what happened next.
But if its the most boring book ever, it'll probably take me a month or two.
Its the interest that affects your time to read a book.

I ain't no Evelyn Woods, that's for sure. Like, you posted your question over an hour ago. I'm still reading it! :-)

I don't read very quickly, but I never feel like it's a race anyway. I read for the enjoyment or benefit of the material.
by Anonymous on September 20th, 2009
I don't like to read so I would just prefer to not accept the challenge of reading a book in it's entirety in the first place.
by Moongrim on September 20th, 2009
Oh I can read a two hundred page comic book really quick.
The main thing: can he comprehend what he read?
by Always Ready - COAT of courage on September 20th, 2009
a 200 page book would take me about a week
by level headed on September 20th, 2009
It would depend on the book. If it's something that grabs my interests,maybe in a couple of days.
by Phillis - Zacks little sister on September 20th, 2009
It depends on how much time I have, or how often I get interrupted. SOmetimes I give up in frustration, I am interrupted so much! I can finish a 200 page book in a few hours, when left alone. +5

i read every harry potter book in less than a day. oh and that same day i read the da vinci code haha
by Esther2011 on August 31st, 2011
That depends on the book if it's a really good one I have read a 1000 page books in about 10 1/2 hours. If it's not that engaging it takes me a few days to get through.
by lily is confused on September 25th, 2009
i read all four of the twilight series in two weeks. i think thats fast but it all depends on the amount of time you can allow yourself before your ignoring your family to read.
by sariskyfire on September 25th, 2009
If I can just sit and read with no interruptions, it'll take me about 6-8 hours to get through a 800-900 page book. Sadly, I don't have that kind of time anymore. I'm a total book junkie (I have books everywhere at my apt), but now it takes me a few days or even a week to finish a book.
by AnonymousGirl on August 31st, 2011
I can read a 200 page book in less than a day if I'm really into it and really want to.
by Mikeisha on September 25th, 2009
I don't read fast because I find it hard to retain information if I try. I just read more slowly. It'll probably take me 2 weeks to read 200 pages, if it's pretty interesting.
by Tom on September 25th, 2009
It takes me a few weeks unless it is a small paperback which is unusually interesting, then I can finish it in four days.
Can i play ISO files in Rosetta Stone?
