Yeah, it really depends on the book. If I really love it from the beginning, I can read it in 3-4 days. If I only like it, it might take a week or so for me.

if I get into a book, I can't stop. I'll read it till 6am if I have to. So a few days the most.

It depends on the book for me as well as how busy I am. These last two weekends, I've had some down time and really got sucked into what I was reading. I read pretty much 2 whole books in 2 days (1 last Sunday and one yesterday).
Other weeks and other books have been more busy and not as engrossing and they've taken days.

It all depends.

Sometimes I can read 3 books on one month.
Other times I fall into a slump and it takes 3 months to read one book. Either because I am too exhausted, too busy, or bored by the book and need to learn to move on.

I try to read two books a week, but that doesn't always work out because, like others wrote, it depends on the book. Some I'm completely glued to and get through it pretty quick, some are good, but I can take my time, and others are tough to get through. The amount of pages also factor into it. I'm fine with DNFing a book, after painfully trying to finish a series one time. There is only so many hours and a TONS of books. Nothing hurts more than getting into a reading slump, especially after reading a bunch of dud or okay books. That's what happened me recently it took me about a month to want to read again.

I have done that before with several books. You can't put it down. Or a few times it's 2-3am and I go to stop and go to bed and realized there's only 100 or so pages left and just go ahead and finish it.

I forgot one. There is also the book that's bad (Not complete painful to read just a lot of painful moments.), but you decided to finish. You want it over with, so you read it quick. lol

YES! Ugh I hate when that happens. Really knocks me off my reading goal and then I read some graphic novels to catch up.

Sometimes it takes me a few days if I really get sucked in, but in general, I just read to asleep, so about 2 weeks.

I was half way into a book for a few days, then last night read the other half, and was up til 4am. I refuse to go to bed til I finished it. It was so engrossing.

Literally one of my favorite things to do in life. Good books are everything.
