Depends...if I'm really into the book, or it is just one of those not-too-complicted, easy to read novels I read it really fast (about 4 hours for any Janet Evanovich book, about 10 hours for the latest Harry Potter). If it is a more complex story, or one that I can't just sit and read all at one time, it could take up to months. Took me forever to read the Bourne Identity because it is very dry and dull for a chunk of the beginning before all the action took place.

Depends on the book. I never start a book without finishing so if it sucks, it takes me forever. But I can usually pound out 450 pages in 2-3 days if it's good enough; less if I don't have to work. I read a lot though.

I can finish a 900 page book in 4 and 1/2 hours.

About 12 hours for a novel - 2 to 3 days for a non fiction book.

Depends on the book and how much time I have, but usually 3 to 5 days.

If I have the time, and if the book is good, it usually takes me 3-5 days.

Depends.
2-4 years on average.
5-6 if the book is REALLY long.

I'm a fast reader, so if a book is good I will usually finish it in a few hours. If it is boring, it will usually take a few days.

I usually make it 3 to 5 days and 200-300 pages before I get bored and never pick it up again.

About three weeks for a history book.
