It generally takes me two days to finish 500 pages. But sometimes I would finish within a day or one and half days time.

About a week or less depending on interest levels and other things that I'm doing. At times it will take me even more time, but what matters is I finish the book, right?

if a book is about five hundred page, and I am less busy, it should take me about 3 to 4 days. I don't like reading books that are too voluminous though, so 1000pages and above books are not for me.

It depends on my interest, if I am too involved I might finish a single book in two days. If I have regular interest I would spend 2 hours a day reading novels.

I can finish reading a 500 page book in one day if I'm into it or it might take me longer if it's different from what I usually read.

Well it depends on the book and its genre.

If its a Star Wars book then I can probably finish it in a week.

if its a Stephen King book then itll take me awhile

and if its a long fantasy adventure book series where each book has more than 500 pages like Wheel of Time then probably the whole month which Im reading Dragon Reborn right now anyway

Normally, it would take me 5-6 days. If I am really into it though, I could finish it in two days.

For me a 500 page book would take about 4-5 days. I say this because I am currently reading IT by Stephen King. To get to page 500, it took 3 days. I have to mention that I find the book very interesting and have been involving lots of time into that book. I think it all depends on the reader, and if the book is really doing it for them.
Thanks for reading

huge books like Stephen King's It even Under the Dome which I still have for hardcover those two books would take me a whole month or so to read.

Last time I read Under the Dome was back in 2010

It really depends on how interesting you find the book. With a textbook it takes a whole year and with a good novel 3 days.
