Consider yourself checked friend

I read it in the summer between finishing high school and going to college, at my convenience. so three months.

>>8690711
3 weeks, at the end of summer.

>>8690711
2 weeks i think? maybe a little less.

i was reading probably 5 hours a day, first summer after college. really wanted to take my time to understand it because people always said it was so good

>>8690711
A few days, but I was homeless and had lots of free time.

is the translation by Constance Garnett worth reading?

>>8690711
1-2 weeks.

>>8690711
A few seconds. I had a friend hold it open in the air so I could punch a hole through it. Tore right through the spine.

Five days.

I picked it up while sailing, I had nothing to do all day other than read, or stare at the ocean. I think if I'd been on land and had the distractions of home it would have taken me longer, like Infinite Jest which took me two months to finish.

If you ever want to get some reading done, go sailing.

Six days. I read it over the summer.

>>8690711
Three weeks.

>>8690711
4 days. I was trapped inside an elevator at a hotel (nobody seemed to concerned about my whereabouts) and had nothing to do so I spent pretty much 15 straight hours a day reading.

Just brought my first Dostoyevsky the other day, the under ground and the double in one book.Looking forward to tackling this when i have the time.

It's one of those books that hooks you and the prose isn't particularly ornate. So maybe like a week the first time I read it and 4-5 days the other two times. Spent a lot of time reading it on those days though.

*too concerned

>>8690711
Two weeks, 2 hours a day, 3 if I brought it to work

>>8691695
You were stuck in an elevator for 4 days???

>>8690711
Less than a week, read it in hospital

>>8690711
little less than a day, not even trolling.

>>8690711
Really long because I was reading it over my fifth year exams in high school. Like five months. And I didn't really appreciate it because of that.

Man I need to revisit that book.

I was only sixteen and didn't think it through. Basically retained none of it.
