How long would it take for you to read a 200pg book?

 

[UDT89]

usually 4 hours, pending its the usual font and page size

 

[Mucman]

Depends on the topic... if it's database management systems probably a couple days. If it's a fantasy novel then I would say 3-4 hours if I am hooked.

 

[yobarman]

it took me 2 days to read a 500 page novel... prolly liike 6-8 hours total...wasnt really counting.

 

[Zim Hosein]

chiwawa626, it depends on how interesting it is to me and how much coffee I have available

 

[Chaotic42]

I'd say 5-9 hours depending on how interested I was, and how awake I was

 

[Kadarin]

In the sci-fi genre, a 200 page book isn't a book, it's a short story, and only takes a couple of hours to read. A good, satisfying book should be around 1000 pages (or more!)

Now, if it's about database admin, or tcp/ip routing, that's a different story

 

[The Dancing Peacock]

a pleasure book, that's something I am interested in, would take probably between 2 and 2.5 hours, maybe less. Something technial, a whole hell of a lot longer.

Same here. It really depends on the format.

 

[Darein]

I would agree with the 4 hour estimate.

 

[brtspears2]

4 hours!? Crap, it takes me 1 hour to read 25 pgs.

 

[LanEvoVI]

4 hours sounds bout right....

[FoBoT]

3-4 years

i haven't had time/made time to read a whole book in several years

 

[CyberCowboy]

if it's a textbook from skool, then i'll read 10 pages and fall asleep. then never look at it again.

if it's a novel.... haha.. i won't get past the first page.

if it's a magazine, then prob 1-2 hours, (although i've never seen a mag with over 150 pgs).

if it's a book that I really wanted to read, then prob 1-4 hours.

 

[Orsorum]

Depends on the book.

Anywhere between an evening and a week.

 

[Viper GTS]

I read Clancy novels in 2-3 evenings (~2 hours per evening), so I'll say 60-90 minutes if it's a novel.

[Aquaman]

3 hours for recreational reading............ days or weeks maybe even months for school/work reading It all depends on the interest level of the material

Cheers,

whew, you kids are insane, 3 hrs? i probably wounldnt even attack a 200 pg book, the topic of this thread is long enough

 

[Jugernot]

2 weeks.... a couple hours a day. I don't read particularly slow, but I can never keep my attention of hte book long enough to remember what I just read.

If I start reading a book that I really like, I'll finish it in one night. I'll easily read a 500 page book in a night. I get into a book, and I wont want to put it down. I've always enjoyed reading.

 

[vi edit]

3-4 hours

 

[LethalWolfe]

Assuming it's a recreational read that I'm really into around 3hrs.
