Depends on what I have going around me. But when I start a book I usually finish it one day or three days depending on how busy I am.

My first book was Misery. When I was in Boston, to have reconstruction surgery on my face at the Boston's Children Hospital, my mother took me to the bookstore while I was healing... I picked that book by Stephen King.

I didn't finish the book because Misery film was coming on.

I knew what the movie will be about. I can see why they said the book is better than the movie.

Depending on how busy I am, I read between 1-4 books in a week. Reading is also a good way of escaping reality. So, I definitely read more when not in my elements. Sometimes I set targets to keep me on course.

I used to read voraciously in my college and high school years. But now the amount has been reduced. But I still try to read regularly. Maybe, 1-2 books a week is my optimum goal.

Depends on whether I have a good book to read or not. If it's not good, then I often read it sporadically or I allocate like one pomodoro for it per day. If it's good then I'll squeeze every second I can out of my day to make sure I read as much of it as I can.

I read every day. I read at different times of the day because it depends on my schedule. The time frame varies from day to day as well.

I'd have to say that I read multiple books at once, and so gauging this feels a little bit difficult. When I really like a book and I have the time (meaning I don't have classes or exams to attend to), I can finish a full-length novel (300-400 pages) in less than a day. I've also had days where I've read an entire trilogy in less than 24 hours. For the most part, I read as much as I can and it's a very big part of my daily activity.

I don't read a lot nor regularly. Sometimes a book a week. And sometimes three books a week.

I'm building on this by reading a chapter or so (20-30 pages) of TWO books every day. It feels much more manageable and gives me less anxiety, and should put me on pace for about 2 books every 3 weeks, which isn't so bad.
