It really depends on the book but on average I would say a book in 5 - 7 days but I do 95% of my reading on the railroad which is about an hour a day.

Something big like the much anticipated Harry Potter 6 will take me longer.

Depends on the book. A few books I've read in a day or two.

I have been reading Angels and Demons for a few months then forgot where I placed the book. Then I started The Da Vinci code, I started it 1 month ago and havent gone pass page 30.

I can only read right before bed or when DS naps (and I'm off of work) so 1-2 weeks.

Depending on the book 1 to 2 days. I am in the process of reading 4 books right now, since none of them have have gotten to good parts or sucked me in. I could read a good book that pulls me in, in 3 hours.

Usually about a week. Unless I'm struggling to get through it.

I really don't know how people can read a book in a day? I wouldn't be able to do anything else. Where do you find the time and are how big are these books?

I will usually read about 3-4 books a week. I mostly speed read, but after signing up for kindleunlimited i have started to use the free audiobook. Now i will listen to books while im folding laundry, cleaning etc. The plus is that i can clean my home and read at the same time, but it has slowed me down with how many books i can get through. Its good though because im not sacrificing my sleep to get through a book. The more kids i have had the harder it is to find time to read. Haha!!

Anywhere from 1-4 days normally... I read on my hour long lunch at work and then before bed, so I get through books pretty quickly.

How did this get bumped? Chat Icon I read the comment "Something big like the much anticipated Harry Potter 6" and I was like WAIT there's MORE coming?! I got so excited! And then sad. Chat Icon I know there's the other books- like The Tales of Beetle and Bard, but it's not the saaaaaaaaaaaame.

Anyway, it depends on the book. Usually about a week. Though I started a book on Sunday morning and finished it Sunday afternoon this weekend.

Usually a week. I really only read on my commute to/from work. If I REALLY like a book, I will stay up half the night and finish it in a day.

Re: How quick do you read a book on average?

It depends on the book. I do not think I'm a fast reader but my husband is amazed at how much I read. We are each so different. I have to be very disinterested before I'm willing to just skim and miss words. Before I started a book discussion group, I was reading so much and now I'm in a different phase and I spend the whole month reading the next book. I want to get back to doing more reading by my own choice as well. Not everything will be appropriate for the group. I want to read about some history of my religion, etc.
