How long does it take you to finish a book?

Ugh takes me forever

Forever. I read at night on the kindle, seriously 1-3 pages and I’m out.

Depends. I've literally never been one of those people who devours a book in a day (I have neither the time nor attention span for that.) If I really love a book I might get through it in a week if I don't watch any TV and don't work late, but otherwise it can take a month or more. I've been working on a book for six months now. I listened to it on audible and loved it but it was a complicated enough plot that I wanted to read it as well, but I'm just not an avid reader. I really only have time in the evening and I'm so tired that it puts me to sleep. Glad I'm not the only person out there who takes a long time to get through a book.

One or two days - max. It is a problem. I cannot stop reading once I start.

It completely depends. Am I just throwing it my bag and reading on my commute and lunch break? Maybe 10 days for 250 pages or so. Am I completely committed to it and reading not only during those times but also after work and before bed? Could be as short as 3-4 days.

Somewhere between a day and two months (after I hit the 2 month point I give up).

Great Expectations and the Tin Drum both took me a really long time, but a 150 memoir, I can usually burn through really fast.

Forever, and some I never finish.

a day if it's a good book

Depends on how long the book is and if I'm spending serious reading time or just reading on my commute/before bed.

I bought 18 books from Amazon in the last 6 months. So I guess about 10 days, on the average?

If I'm more than a quarter into the book and it's not grabbing me, I don't finish it.

Depends on how good it is, how suspenseful + drawn in I get.

Example: John Grisham’s novels are typically very compelling, suspenseful & tough to put down so it usually takes me between 3-6 days to complete one.

I haven’t finished a book in 6 years, unless early readers count.

Same here. I have stayed up all night just to read.

This. It's an addiction. I've started listening to books so at least I can exercise or clean.

About a week or so, give or take a few days, if I like it.
