4-6 hours

Depends on the book. From a couple of days, to weeks, to months. Maybe even years if you consider the time I continue to think over it.

>>18566195
10-12 hours

>>18566195
When I was a kid, a few days
Now literally months

I remember ive read Catcher in the Rye in one day and when i closed the book i said "This shit sucks lol".

>>18566195
usually a month or so, if I keep at it. I don't read on a regular schedule, and the amount of pages I read when I do varies. I have read 300 in a day before, but thats cause of amphetamines. I'm a slow reader.

Like ~8 hrs

>>18566195
Depends which book, doesn't it? Anywhere from a few hours ('King Solomon's Mines') to a few years ('The Road To Reality').

>>18566195
depends on the page size, font size, and theme of the book.

normally about 6 hours if is a light book. If it is a complex novel or, philosophy book, or has difficult vocabulary, much, much more.

Maybe a 3 to 7 days if I read daily. I’ve had times where it takes me weeks. It really just depends.

>>18566195
I picked up Story of Civilization based on /lit/'s recommedations. A year later and I'm only 25% finished. I'm retarded.

This thread reeks of insecurity.

This post reeks of insecurity

>>18566195
A few years

>>18566195
When I'm reading a book, the first sitting I usually get about 50 pages in. Then a handful of 20-30-page sittings. When I'm sober, this process is about 8 days. When I'm not sober, it's about two weeks, which I think is a decent amount of time to spend on a book

>>18566281
Terrible cope, anon

Week or two depending on a multitude of other factors.

>>18566195
That dog's face is incredibly expressive.

Re:question, probably like 2 weeks, 1 if I'm really gunning through it. I have other commitments throuout the week which make it difficult to read as quickly as I used to. I never consider it in raw "hours"

>>18566195
Depends. If it is scientific, a week or two. If it is shit like HP, probs in a day or two

>>18566219
this and i blame this site

>>18566195
Depends on what type of book it is. But months, if we count the average time.

>>18566195
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA you guys FINISH your books wait icantstoplaughahahahhHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

I read a 500 page Michael Crichton book in only a few hours

>>18566195
about 300 hours

Depends on how into the book I am. Usually about 10-14 days since I don’t have much time to read

>>18566195
Fiction 4h, non-fiction 6h.

>>18566195
prolly read it in a week, less if im picking it up every day.

>>18567493
Haha hah haa hahaha

~35 pages a day so about a week

>>18566195
Anywhere between 5-10 hours and thus 5-10 days based on the difficulty of the material.

>>18566196
this but replace hours with weeks

>>18566195
I try to make sure I read 50 pages a day whenever I read a book. it's a comfy and doable pace for me. so for 300 pages, 6 days

retards in here are answering two different questions. how long it takes you to read a book in one sitting is not the same as how long it takes in actuality.

Around 20 years

4 days? It largely depends on my schedule.

>>18566306
cope about what? I read at a perfectly acceptable rate

>>18566195
Between 2 and 5 days.

>>18566195
Depends if the book is good or not.

>>18566195
Depends on the content. Most novels can be mowed through pretty quickly, but a philosophy book that requires you to re-read every paragraph 5 times can take months

>>18566195
I read lolita in a day and a half. The Illiad has been moving variously from the bed, to the desk, next to the toilet too next to the basin in the bath room for the past month or so.

>>18566195
Depends how busy I am. When I was in uni, a couple of weeks. Now Im unemployef, so a couple of days.

>>18566195
I could finish a light novel of that size in about 3-4 hours without skimming over anything.
Currently reading wuthering heights and I reckon it will have taken me 10 hours or so to finish it.

>>18566195
Takes me a month. I read about 10 pages at a time on average

>>18566195
4-5 hour actual reading time according to my Kobo
I usually read in one hour sessions, so probably 6 hours to finish a book if I factor in breaks between sessions

>>18567493
Very comedic indeed.
