Re: how fast do you read a book?

Hmm.. well I read harry potter book 5 and 6 each in 24 hours time.

Depends on the book and the interest I have in it... but I am an english teacher so I read quite a bit.

That's always me. On my honeymoon I brought one book. Needless to say I had to buy THREE more while I was there (and obviously not at Border's prices!)

Really fast if I like it. My coworkers were amazed that I read Harry Potter books 3 and 4 last weekend. This weekend I am reading Book 5 and I am almost done.

If I like a book then I don't want to put it down. I usually finish books in a few hours!

Re: how fast do you read a book?

On our HM or vacation I can finish 2 a day on the beach...say 3 hours time for a quick read like the Nanny Diaries.

I don't have much time to read for pleasure when I am home.

I am a very fast reader and can easily read a book in a few hours. DH says I am a freak - when we were first dating, I was in grad school and he would be over when I was reading. He was floored by how fast a book would goChat Icon

Um, usually a day or so. Unless I have a lot to do.

DH makes fun of me constantly for this.

Not fast enough . . . .

I CAN read a book very fast, but I don't always give reading the time it deserves . . .

Re: how fast do you read a book?

It depends on the book and how much I am into it. I have read a few books recently in less than a day.

But I am also an English & special ed teacher so I am used to reading a lot.

I did the last Harry Potter book in a day. DH was mad because it took him about a week.

Re: how fast do you read a book?

I read quickly, but I also love to read and when it's good, I won't put it down.

DH takes a bit longer to read, but he only reads what interests him, which isn't much.
