If I'm totally engrossed, 1 1/2 days kahit na may online job pa.. work and read at thesame time! :)

It depends. If I really like the book, I usually finish it 1-2 days because I can't stop. Sometimes I read for 13 hours non-stop. If the book is so-so or thick, 3-5 days.

If i'm sooo hooked to the story, I can finish it 2 to 3 days. I even got to finish a book (Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami) in a day. Well, it was not thick anyway.

Now I could barely finish a book due to my busy 'motherhood' schedule, let alone begin reading a new one.

1-2 days, depende kung makapal at interesting yung books..
pero minsan kasi mas gusto ko patagalin ng ilang days bago ko tapusin para lang maalala at ma-internalized talaga yung binasa ko.. ;D

If the book is interesting 1-3 days. Minsan kasi binabagalan ko magbasa at binabalikan ko yung mga pages lalo na pag interesting at nakakakilig yung situation.

Pag boring yung book around 1 month. Sayang naman kung di ko tatapusin. Tyagaan lang.
