| I finish at least one a week, sometimes two or three. |

| 10 to 14 days, but I take breaks in between books and try to find ones I really want to read. |

| A few hours to a few days. |

| 7-10 days, usually. A lot less if i’m really into the book. |

Pre-kids: a day or two.
Kids: Six months to a year, and only if I remember the book I was trying to read and used a bookmark. Le sigh. |

| I recently completed an audio bio of U.S. Grant. Took about 48 hours. Seriously. |

| Less than a day if I’m into it, never if I’m not. I don’t mind just admitting I don’t want to finish a book that is too boring. |

+1. Which is why I had to quit my book club! |

Depends on the book, its size, and how interesting it is.
I haven't finished a book in years since my son was born. This weekend, I read an old book written a long time ago. I couldn't put it down. It was an easy read and not long at all. Two hrs in the afternoon, 2 hrs at night and I was done. Little things make me so happy. |

It depends on the book. Great books I finish in a day, good books 3-4 days, average books a week.
Anything longer feels forced, and I likely won't finish, despite my best attempts. |

Audio books take FOREVER. I can read much faster than I can listen, and listening takes way more effort. |

| Depends on the book. I commute 40min each way on the metro so I get a lot of quality reading time in per day (I've missed my stop before lol). I would say normally 2-3 days since I tend to read 2-3 books per week, but it depends on the book. Lately I've been reading dystopian style books which are easier reads, so I can blow through them faster. Others may take me a full week to read if they are harder readers. |

3-5 weeks, depending on how much I like it.
I'm so slow! |

| I don't read much fiction because I can never finish them. I go through non-fic with no problem (maybe 3-4 days), although that's probably because I skip pages as I get bored. |

| If it’s a good and easy book- ie Jennifer Weiner type- a day or two. If it’s a Robert Caro biography or other dense nonfiction, a LONG time. |
