>> No.1143252

I average around one page a minute, depending on the difficulty of the novel and the size of the text.

>> No.1143255

A regular sized, 200-400 page one, 4-5 hours at most.

>> No.1143257

2 weeks during the summer, and a month during college

>> No.1143259

something thin like breakfast of champs will take me 1-2 hours.
broom of the system and hundred years of solitude took me four and five respectively (because i got all switched around with the arcadio family-line renaming shit)
but bigger works will usually take me 4-5 days, aka 2666 and against the day.

>> No.1143269

One month per novel. Only read about an hour a day every other day.

>> No.1143539

1 or 2 hours... 3 if it's long, complex and involved

Fuck off Ta-- err... wait.

A 400 page novel will take me about 4 days, of which I'll spend about 8 hours reading. Anyone who says they read novels in like 4 hours is either lying or not taking in the whole book. There's a reason films cut out most of the book you know.

I'm reading around eight novels at any one time, so it takes a while to actually finish one while rotating through.

I'd say a month and a half on average.
