Depends on the book and my time, but usually 4-5 days. A couple hundred pages a day.

@Basma, I read when my grandkids go to bed at 7 until I go to bed at 10. Three hours a night, about a couple hundred pages a night.

@Basma, three hours is quite a while while reading. The pages add up quickly.

Just depends on my day. Traveled today and read a 450 page book, and I could have read more. A busy day at home- I am lucky to get any reading in.

Depends on the content, and then the complexity of the writing style. I read an average modern novel at around 2 pages a minute. Shakespeare at about half that. So 7-12hours of straight uninterrupted reading, give or take.

@Basma , I read 30 minutes before I fall asleep each night & I’m a slow reader now due to being diagnosed with Early-on set Alzheimers at the age of 49 years old. ??

@Basma, thank you for understanding. I love reading so much that I will continue to read until I can’t understand one word.

@Kim I’m saddened to hear you are in early onset Alzheimer’s. My father and grandmother both were diagnosed with it. Chances are I may be also. I pray you read your heart out and enjoy every moment possible! Thank you for sharing that with us. What kind of books do you enjoy?

@Basma I read each of the Harry Potter books in two days apiece. To me reading a book is like watching a movie in my mind. Time doesn’t exist.
