Thread: Fastest You Have Read a book

Two minutes for a picture book, maybe?

Wow 2 days, the best I've did is like a month. I'm a slow reader plus I rarely ever read anymore. I have a friend that went through 3 books in less than a week however.

I read enders game in half a day. I did nothing but read though.

i read harry potter (7) in a couple hours. i read from 1 am to about 8 in the morning.

I can't remember if it was New Moon or Eclipse... but I ended up finishing it in about 11 hours.

Shun.

I read 1984 in about 6 hours Was sick during a power outage, so I read.

Wow, I read the unabridged version of the playwright The Phantom of the Opera in one day. I did nothing but read. (I had a school project I procrastinated on.) So I guess I have a good record. I'm not sure about the time since I read the entire time.

That's not a couple of hours.


I didn't count the hours it took, unfortunately, but I've read HP5-7 in one day intervals. I'll just read them again and see how many hours it takes..

i read the entire star track movie in 2.14 decades

yer. plus I didn't read non stop.
i read shorter books (<300) in a good 2 hours. depending on how large it is.

Jane Eyre in 90 minutes before a quiz

Michael Jackson's autobiography "Moonwalk" in about 5 hours (highly recommend).

A book of 327 pages in 2-3 hours. It was pretty cool, but kind of creepy

Under the Dome: 1074 pages, less than 9 hours

I read about a hundred pages an hour, faster if it's lighter reading. So I can finish most decent-sized books in 3-4 hours if I want to retain everything.

I'm always jealous when my sister reads books so fast. She read the newest Dan Brown book in a few hours. I just can't read that fast. I'm a slow-ass reader.

Still, I did read the first Carlos Castaneda book in a day I do believe. I was just captivated by it. I don't think much has come close. It usually takes me fucking AGES to read anything. And I just bought two fairly thick books: House of Leaves and an ethnography called Righteous Dopefiend. They'll take me a while!

Looks like it might be enjoying it...........

Monster Blood III in about 30 minutes.

If I'm really into a book, I'll read it in about 2 days. If I'm not it can take over a year of continually putting it off .

Hm, Animal Farm comes to mind. It took me maybe 2 hourse, but it's not really hard to do.

I was on the train.
