How fast do you read a book you like?

[GePap]

Simple question: how long does it ussually take you to read a book you like? Do you read it in as few sittings a possible, ro do you read little bits of it over time?

I myself, like to finish a story I like as soon as possible. so, if I have a long time free, I ususaly read a book in one afternoon or so, depending on the subject matter, and how easy it is to digest.

For example, being jobless, i decided to take the say of to read the new Harry Potter today. It took me from 11 am to 10 pm (with a few breaks, about 1.5 hours in totla of breaks) to finish it.

I took about three days of Harry Potter to read .

I'm strange, I like to read with my lips moving, barely above a quiet whisper, so I hear the story (kinda) as well as read it.

Using the base of a 1000 paged book...

If I REALLY like it: 5 hours.

I I like it: 8 hours.

If I moderately like it: 10 hours.

If I'm neutral: A day.

If I moderately dislike it: 3 days. (I know, big jump)

If I dislike it: 5 days.

If I HATE it: 7 days.

Luckily, I like reading most books.

I'm not an avid reader, but I finished Al Franken's "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot" in about 4 days.

I like reading books in as little time as possible as well. I just find them incredibly hard to put down.

Nothing will ever replace the experience of a vicarious afternoon and the thrill of turning the next page.

I prefer to read on the computer. Mostly because I hate turning pages, reading words that are in the spine of the book, being unable to relax, etc etc....

How do you relax sitting in front of a computer screen with the glare?
