honestly, i can't finish reading a book that fast. it takes me like weeks to finish it. hahaha! i only read a book when i am bored and when i feel like reading it. haha. i have this book which has been bought for like years and years ago but still haven't finished reading it yet. hahahaha!! i easily lose interest in finishing a certain book. well, during my schooling days i can finish up a book in days but now, i would rather lay down in bed watch shows on tv or face my laptop and mylot and visit the other sites that i usually visit in.
how about you? can you finish a bulky book in just one day? i know someone who can.. hahaha!
happy posting and happy mylotting!

responses and comments:
When I take an interest in a book, I cannot put it down and end up finishing the same day or the very next morning. That is in fact the reason I don't read very often is b/c I tend to neglect everyone for the day and I can't stand doing that. [psspurgeon1]
I agree. I once read Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. I finished them in a single day! When I was 11, I also finished John Grisham's Pelican Brief in the same timeframe. I also finished Tom Clancy's Clear and Present Danger in a day when I was in 2nd year high school. It's true we book lovers tend to hold on to the book when it has caught our fancy. [SeishiroX]
I suppose it depends on the length of the book. If I take a hankering for it then I will definitely be on that book and done with it within a week, but if I get busy then well it takes about a month. [SomeCowgirl]
hi somecowgirl! true. when the book you are reading has a lot of pages in it then definitely it will take you days or weeks to finish it unless you diligently read the book from time to time! happy posting and happy mylotting!lol [skbh12]
It takes me about 6 hours to finish a book. i prefer to read them straight through. It sometimes takes as much as three days just to find the time. [laglen]
hi laglen! woah! that is fast reading! i can't do that because for sure i'll get headaches or even my eyes will hurt and get blurred. teehee. happy posting and happy mylotting! [skbh12]
It really depends on the book. When i am really interested and the book has a good story, I can finish a book i am interested in within one day if it is english thick book but if it is tagalog romance novel i can finish it within an hour. However, if i don't like the book and i just read it because i am bored it would take me to read 3 - 5 days if it is english book but if it tagalog book, it will take 1 day for me to finish it. happy mylotting [aisaellis22]
hi aisaellis22! yeah tagalog pocket books are so thin that you can finish it all up in just one sitting. hahaha! i have read some of it and i can say they are interesting books to read in. happy posting and happy mylotting! [skbh12]
I love to read! I can finish one of those chicken soup for the soul books in a matter of a few hours! I also am a spead reader! So I read pretty fast! [mamalovestoread]
hi mamalovestoread! wow!! chicken soup books are a bit thick and you can finish it in just few hours. good for you to be reading fast. happy postinga and happy mylotting! [skbh12]
I know a handful of those people who can finish a novel in one sitting. I can't, or at least usually don't, do that. I have done it once or twice but usually I only read a couple of chapters a day, for at least a week. If I like a book it's about a week, if I'm not that enthralled by it it can take 2 weeks. I like "being in the middle of a book" like that because it spreads it out longer. [philjas]
hi philjas! yes because on the first few pages, the book is hard to open it up fully. happy posting and happy mylotting! [skbh12]
It all depends on the book. I finished a book in a weekend once. Other times, it takes a week or so. It also depends on how much time I have to read. Some times I just cannot give more than a half hour or so to my reading at a time. [Marie5656]
hi marie5656! mine too. it depends on the time i have left for reading that is why it takes so many days or weeks before i could finish a certain book.. happy posting and happy mylotting! [skbh12]
Depending on the book and how much time I have available to read, between one day and one week. [thelastwolf113]
hi thelastwolf113! if the book is thin then definitely i could finish reading it in just one sitting. teehee! happy posting and happy mylotting! [skbh12]
I still do finish a book in three days , earlier it used to be a day but now with two kids I spend my night time reading and generally can finish book in a two to three days. Actually I if book captivates me I keep readig it through out the day while doing laundry or cooking too. I just then can't keep it down. [mansha]
I hope it never does and I still enjoy my books and hope so till light fades from my eyes. [mansha]
it depends the volume of the book i am reading and if this book interested me it will takes 3 to 7 days of reading but if i am interested i think it will makes me read them for couple of weeks. [skywolfcel]
hi skywolfcel! yeah it really depends on the interest of the book you read. happy posting and happy mylotting! [skbh12]
Reading would take me forever.Im not really into it.Even though I have read some from cover to cover, it took me a long time. [dr3vvd]
I can finish a book in one day if I have little distractions. I have been know to stay up all night to read a book that I really like. And I have small kids so sleeping in the next day isn't happening. lol [writermommy6]
depending on the size of the book, and how interesting it is..probably about 2 days if big and thrilling or hours if a smaller one..but in average the type of Lord of the rings about 2-3 days... [malfaiate]
I read 'Twilight' in a day and the following issue in another day. [lyndaheather75]
hehe..me 2..i love that series.Just waiting for that movie to release now.Hopefully its good as everyone says its going to be. [lildevilz]
Hi, It depends on the book.If its an interesting book,then I cannot stop until I've finished the book.There are times when I eat and read at the same time cause I'm soo hooked on that book.desperate times..hehe..so it usually takes me 1 day or max 2 days to finish a book.If its a boring book,I don't think I'll be able to even finish that book.hehe.. [lildevilz]
I like reading, but I take forever to finish books. I get bored of reading no matter how good the book is. I dont know why. Reading just makesme feel sleepy. [_sketch_]
I just finished the book about Sarah Palin and finished it in two short reading sessions. Of course the book is only about 180 pages, so that wasn't difficult. When I read a normal sized novel, it takes me about 3 days. Less if I'm really into the book. That's when I neglect everything else. happy [kenzie45230]
i can finish a book in a day, but i try and prolong it for three days, because it gets really difficult to arrange for a book everyday. [vidasandi]
If i find a book interesting i would just read it in a day or two by sitting late in the night. I would also make a summary of the same for my future reference. But this is not the routine now as i rarely find time to read books. Most of the time i am on the net during my free time and have little time to read books. I have a library card with me but have not got any book issued for the past six months. [limcyjain]
i can finish one book one day, in one sitting. I dont want to wait till i know the ending part.. [katrhina23]
I am an avid reader and when I start a book it's usually hard for me to put it down. I tend to finish them either the same night of the next day. [samijo719]
um as a lot of others have said I really do think it depends on the kind of book you are reading. teasterday i finished james pattersons step on a crack which was day 2 of reading it but then I have had other books that have taken me a month to read like a martina cole one as they are a bit more intense amd much longer!! [wonkydonkey]
Nope i can't finish a book in one day unless it's about 200 pages long. Classics are especially hard to read so a lot more concentration is needed. I think they are best read without breaking up too much or else i might start loosing interest. I like literature books and if they're really interesting, i might be able to finish them in 2 days, like Martin Amis' "Dead Babies". [antioxidant]
I can't read that fast as well, like you, I read whenever I got spare time and bored as well.But if it was really interesting book and really like it, I think I can finish it in a few days, quite still slow. lolBefore, I read a bit fast than I'm right now, like when I read Harry Potter books, I only read it in three days. But right now,when there's a lot of things to do and rarely read a book, I read slower than before. happy [kylie_quistis]
If I have the time (and my kids let me) I can finish a book in less than an afternoon. Every now and then I will get a book that I can't put down. I have stayed up very late into the night to finish a book. The last great book I read and couldn't put down was The Last Lecture. Nothing like crying before going to sleep. [mrsfred96]
Hello skbh12 It's according to the book and how much time I have to read as to how long it takes me to finish a book. If I really enjoy the book, I will finish it in a day, easily. I sometimes will read several books at once, simply because I can't make up my mind which one to read first. [Transdisc]
The shortest would be overnight, usually the light reads. If the story is really gripping I could really get into it. I read the Harry Potter books 5-7 in just a weekend. [lizavm]
It depends how interesting the book is. [balasri]
i'm really not into reading. but i would lovely if i could finish a book in just one day. a friend of mine said that she could finish a book in just a one, especially when the story goes nice. she always say that, give a book. she always said that she really want to read books, as many as she can. i would idolize those people like my friend who could finish 1 book in just one day. and asking for more. god. i hope i would be a bookworm someday. but my friend is training me to love books, the way my friend love it.
