responses and comments:



When I read book I usually read books with 600+ pages. I read it in 2 weeks top. I remember whole book by reading it once. My friends say that is amazing but i don't think like that. [humra7]
is that right? you can remeber whole book by reading it once. i think you maybe the best student in the school. how envy you for that! [fwangaa]


hello, i can't read a book to long. I get too impatient on reading it. so, I just put the book down, and forget about it. [ashly1979]
the same to you.if the book quite difficult ,i also get too impatient on reading it. and the same with lots of films. [fwangaa]



It depends on the book I'm reading. If it's a storyline that I can get into quite quickly, then I'm likely to read it within a few days because I take every opportunity to read it. If it's one that I'm not too fussed about then it takes a lot longer, but I try to make sure that I always finish it, no matter how dull! [Nadura]
that's right,one of my friends,was very interested in physics.but only part of physics. so his got a unfavorable physical score. [fwangaa]


it depends on how interesting the book is. the more intersting it is, the faster i can finish it reading. even if it is a short book,but if it is really really boring, it will still take me a longer time to finish it. [mayonaka1616]
yes,i am in trouble with java. [fwangaa]



I can read a book for a long span of time. The longest I've ever spent reading was somewhere between six to eight hours in one day. I don't really get bored with the book unless it really is a boring book. The more I read a particular book, the more hooked in it I get. [RenaCeline]
it is too long for to read book last eight hours.i also read for 3 hours. [fwangaa]


Even I am a slow reader. With lots of things happening lately with and around my life I am taking much more time to concentrate. Light books and fiction I can manage but non-fiction books take really a good deal of time to finish. I feel reading meeds a major practice. With time the speed gets better. Happy reading. [mimpi1911]
the same with you. with some variance in my brain and some other part of body. i read book quite slow. [fwangaa]


I can read a book as long as I don't have anything important to do. I am very patient in reading books, as you can see. To top it, I finished a 300-page+ book on a school day. My friends told me that I was insane. Truth be told, I am. Quite. Hehehe... [xXSnowFoxXx]
Hehehe...thank you very much! [xXSnowFoxXx]


I could get into a book no telling how long. Maybe 2-3 hours at a time. I'm a complete bookworm!!! [ajmccrary1986]
Yes I am. Thanks [ajmccrary1986]


I am a fast reader and skip over alot of descriptive details in novels. I generally read 2-3 books per week. However, if I'm reading an educational type of book, it takes me much longer as I'm trying to really digest and learn from it and want to retain the info. If I have a good novel, I could read it cover to cover if circumstances allowed! As a kid, my parents could take me anywhere as long as I had a good book to read. just let me read and I'm happy! [renitaperrone]
the same with you.i skip over alots of descriptive detail.as knighterrant novel.i skip over lots of fight descriptive detail. [fwangaa]


I'm a certified bookworm and once I've got a good book in my hands, time stops.lol The only time I put it down is when I'm about to take a shower or eat. Well, sometimes if I'm eating an informal meal, I read while I'm eating.lol I can finish a thick book in a day and a half, 2 days tops. [crazyoverpurple]
that are too many writers,sometimes i read book not remember the writer.form your writers who you noticed,i think you actually a bookworm! [fwangaa]


I can read a book in about an hour, depending on the length of it, and how interested in the story I am. It took me forever ( a month or so) to read War and Peace, not because it was long ( 1000 or so pages), but because I couldn't get interested in the story line. A longer book takes anywhere from two to four hours to read. I read the COunt of Monte Cristo the other day. Since it had 600 pages it took about four hours. [Bd200789]
that's really quick!and i aslo like read word by word.not like skip it. [fwangaa]


If its really good I can get stuck on it all night and finish a 600 plus book in 2 days or so. But I havent had a good book in a long time. Just toilet reading. [baileycows]
how fast you read! i just read 150 plus book in whole day.are you remember the most of detail of the book. [fwangaa]


I read at about 800 words per minute and I average 40-50 books per year. Some I go through faster than others, depending on the rhythm of the book. Sometimes it takes me longer if the book doesn't maintain my interest as well. I am an admitted bookaholic. It's funny though, when I was a kid in school, I hated to read, now it's one of my favorite pasttimes. [lightningd]
yes,you are right. read book and increase our vocabulary and writing kill. [fwangaa]


i am a fast reader.. i read novels depending on my time schedule... when im not doing anything. i can finish a thick book in just a day. sometimes, i even try reading a novel while listening to my professor.. i just feel like when i read the book, i should finish it to the very last page.. i really love reading.. this is my passion.. i have read a lot of books like, da vinci code, tuesday's with morrie, angels and demons, the pearl, and novels by daniel steel and anne rice's books.. [therd27]
no i dont leave any parts behind.. i read all of them.. every single word.. and i easilly understand it,... that's why my literature prof commended me on my reading skills.. [therd27]


Hey I can read a book from 2 days if I just read that or any think up to a month depending if I get busy doing other thinks such as visiting family in the hospital which I seem to end up doing quite a lot of the time as of late also when my programs are on I do not like to be distracted by reading or being on the computer even. [myhuni]
the same to you.when i study if i also chat to others i will be distracted. [fwangaa]


It depends on the book I am reading . If I love it I will have it done in a day or two . Usually , it takes me about one weeks time to read a book . I do remember some books I read there are many that stuck with me . Like wuthering heights and something blue and something borrowed . [metschica25]
are you like to read famous book? i also like to read JinYong's book in China.i will to read Wuthering Heights. [fwangaa]


I'm not a big fan of books and reading .. I'm more into math and numbers haha.. I don't read so fast I think I read a little slow really. Last time I read a book I read the whole thing in like 5 hours.. It took part of my day buut teh book was real good. The book has to be really really interesting for me to keep reading it If Not I'll just fall alseep. ^_^ [Maximo121091]
are you student? are you like math? why you like math? is it difficult for you? [fwangaa]


I am not as fast reading books as my husband, who usually devours them! I usually read a few books at a time, some in English, some in Spanish, with a Sudoku in between so as to think a little bit! I don't give up easily and most of my books are read to the end. [sylvia13]
There are too many languages you can use.i only read books in Chinese.if the book is intersting,i will read the book to the end. [fwangaa]


What is a polt? shocked I read books pretty slow too since I love to digest or understand what I am reading. happy But the total duration will depend on how long or difficult the book is. lol [TheManager24]
are you student? i cann't to digest.because i read novel.when i was a studet i aslo love to digest what i was reading. [fwangaa]


When I was in grade school, I could read an entire book in one day. And, I'm talking about a book that was over 100 pages long. But I did not enjoy the book. Most times, I can read an entire book in one week, if I'm rushing. But two weeks is about the right amount of time for me to read a book and still enjoy doing so! Thanks for the fun question. I love talking about reading and books! [beautyqueen26]
yes,now the pages of book are so long.so we must take a lot of time to read it. if it is difficult ,it would spend us more time to finish it. [fwangaa]


It all depends on the thrill of the book-a thriller could get over in just a day, if i startd it on the morning and it has about 200 pages-bookes likedetective stories are really interesting! [academic2]
why the detective stories are very interesting ? can you give me the names about detective stories books that you have read? [fwangaa]


If time permits i can resd a book of couple hundred pages in a day or two. I am a voracious reader and yes I can remember what I read [gtdonna]
I have always been into a lot of Brain Games since I was a child, stuff liek Crosswords, Puzzles and now Sudoku...I guess my memory was in training from a kid [gtdonna]


I can read a 150 page of text book in an hour. [asawanialvin0611]
are you teached the textbook? if you are teached by teacher,it is not too quick. if you can read a 150 page of text book in an hour,you are genius! [fwangaa]


i am not a regular reader but i have manged to read books while travelling to far off distant places and reading book is a good habit as it enriches your knowledge and gives you brief knowledge about a particular subject but the real thing is that people just give advices but do not follow or comply with them and this is just like it and goes on and ona and on please also tell me know how to change profile picture on my lot [nutanjain]
you can select " customize your profile",then you can change your profile picture. [fwangaa]


I can read a 63-68 pages of text book in an hour... [vehla_jatt_4_u]
how quick you are! [fwangaa]


has anyone ever read the sword of shannara series?... it is awesome... i recommend it, even tho i am only on the first book of the series... altho i have read most of teh kingdom series before.. [amanda08]
why you took the same books? [fwangaa]


it depnds on the book if it is interseting and in the regional langauge of urs then it will finished before taking meal in the night if it is not related to my interest then it can not finish up to last of my life [amit1975ch]
yes,i only can read Chinese books. [fwangaa]


If it is a good book and somehting I am interested in I cn read it like all day. If it is something I dont really care about I can not read it more than a half hour or so. I do like to read and often do it when I have nothing else to do. [snowy22315]
the same to you .when i read java book ,i found it too difficult to read morn than a half hour.when i read someting i am interested in i can read it more time. [fwangaa]


I am not sure if what you are referring includes novels. Because i really love reading novels especially when its all about love with action topics. If I like much the stories im reading and i am already almost at the climax of the story, i even stop reading until the wee hours in the morning. I remember once that I got only 2 hours of sleep and then again continue reading for the whole day until I finished the story. And I share it with my friends who are also booklovers so they will experience also what I've experienced. [ltsenerpida092371]
are you like to read the same novel with your friend? and you usually communicated to each other and feel the same exprience.that is seems interesting.i will do that as you. [fwangaa]


Oh it depends on what I am reading and how interesting i find it. I hate it when fiction writers are overly descriptive or the book has poor editing . If a book can be shorter it should be. [bluespace]
oh i was talking about particular book that is taking a long time to read because it's not that interesting ,but I have been reading books since I was small and I will never give it up! Take care! [bluespace]


I will usually read a book in a day and the books usually have 300+ pages. I always remember the plots also...if I'm reading a novel. I think you will find that the more you read the faster you will be able to read. Good luck and keep it up reading is so important. [sagesunicorn]
thanks for your encouragement! [fwangaa]


If it's about 300-400 pages I can read it in a day, about 4-5 hours maybe. Just in one sitting. But if it's something very think, it would take me about a week to finish it. [joliefille]
if i spend 4-5 hours,i just read 50-100 pages.so,you read more faster than i. [fwangaa]


It depends on the type of book I am reading. If I am really into the book and like what I am reading then I read pretty fast. I usually remember just about the whole book. But, if it is a book that I have to read and it is boring and I really dont want to read and have to then I read slow. Usually then I dont remember nothing from the book. [babyfirefighter]
yes,most of people can do that as you. if i read a book that not interesting,i will not to read it again. [fwangaa]


If the book has a really interesting plot and storyline, I could finish it in about two to three days. If it has interesting plot with five hundred pages, then thats completely a different story. About a week, I suppose. I can remember plots quite well especially if the books are on my faved list. [tapeovermylips]
i envy your outstanding memory. [fwangaa]


I read some books quite slowly, such as computer's books etc. But I can read fast my favorite novels. [xiaoyanggao]
as the same,i am puzzled about java . [fwangaa]
