Depende kung gaano ko kagusto at kakapal ang book, at kung may time akong umupo at magbasa. May books na tapos ko in 1 or 2 hours, meron naman hanggang ngayon di ko pa rin natatapos, taon na ang lumipas  ;D

Pag mabilis intindihin at okay naman ang story(e.g. Hunger games, sydney sheldon, etc.) few hours lang. Pag mga tong kalevel ni paulo coelho, 5-7 days. Mga Salman Rushdie level, 3 weeks to a month, minsan more pa.
Mahilig ako bumalik balik sa pages at di makukuntento kung di ko masyado na grasp yung sinasabi so depende sa depth ng book.

Pag di ko masyado type tiniigil ko na tapos chaka ko babalikan pag naalala ko ulit.

pag super engrossed at wala masyado ginagawa, un normal na kapal ng book na more than 300 pages, 1 day tapos na...

pag may ginagawa or may pasok, mga 2 to 3 days bago matapos

If I really like the book and I can read without major interruptions, I can finish a book in just a couple of hours, less than 1 day lang.

Depende. If I'm not very busy, natatapos ko within 3-4 days.

If  I like the book, 24-30 hours. If it's not that thick (600 pages below), 6-8hours.

If I don't like the book at all, I never finish it. :)

sakin yung mga james patterson book usually 2 days lang.. ayoko kasing bitawan! hehe.. siguro pinakamatagal ko na, inabot ako ng 5 days.. pero medyo manipis lang yung book.. di ko lang masyadong feel yung story.. hehe..

remember ko yung when the wind blows, nag-start ako mga 6pm ata, then binitawan ko sya ng mga around 11pm.. eh kinabukasan trafffic, as in traffic! buti dala ko yung book.. bago ko bumama ng bus tapos ko na.. hahahha...  ;D

Usually pag super like ko yung pacing ng story sa isang araw na upuan kaya ko sya tapusin. Pero pag medyo boring yung story it would take me a week or two to finish it. Pag sobrang busy usually a week to finish since sa gabi lang ako may free time magbasa before going to bed.
