Question for everyone

Unread post

ok so I want to know how many books can someone read in a week, because if it's a paperback small book i can usually read about 2 or 3 a week, but the bigger longer ones it takes me a longer time to read them through.... and i've met some people who can finish a book within 3 hours, speed readers; lol ..... anyway, i was wondering how many book can you all read in a week? please let me know ........ Thanx......

blessed be ............

That's a good question, I don't think I read as much as I would like due to other commitments, and as much as I try, I can not multi task.

If I was organised enough, I recon I can get through about 3-4 a week (normal sized books) and with the larger books, I think about 2 a week.

I also read a lot of audio books, I think I can get through about 5 of these a week.

I'm working on my time management and organisation, so hopefully, this will increase. The main problem I have at the moment is that I spend too much time choosing a book to read.

hmmm...I do not tend to sit and read a book in one sitting...I did do that with the Harry Potter books however. I was able to read the last 4 books in three days each. Since those books are large I would say an average sized paperback I could probably get through in 2 days. So 2-4 books in a week...if I had no other plans! hehe

Depends on the book really.. The length, how fast paced it is, how much I'm into it. If it's a book I really want to "savor," it'll take me longer.

It also depends on what time of the year it is. Like right now, since college just started... I haven't had any time to read for pleasure. :(
