On average, how long does it usually take you to finish a book /lit/? Say maybe a 500 page book or so

Depends on how difficult it is.

If its hardcore Joyce or something probably like 2 week.

If its like genre fiction then like 2-3 days.

I can do about 100-120 pgs. / day of genre, 40 of a "hard" book. I get bored with reading pretty easily.

I read Atlas Shrugged (my version has 1070 pages) in 3 weeks. Granted, it's fairly easy reading and I had spare time because I was on vacation.
>>
If it's light I can easily read a page a minute. Denser works take longer, proportional to the difficulty.

In German I'm way slower, even a fairly light novel will take 2-3 times as long as it would if it were in English.

About 2 months. I don't read everyday and life gets busy.

>tfw I have the habit of reading multiple books at the same time
>tfw it takes me multiple months to finish a book that's over 300 pages

I'm reading the Illuminatus Trilogy right now and I'm hoping I'm going to finish it by the end of the summer.

>>
Depends on the density, m8. 500 pages of Harry Potter can be read in 1 day, easily. Other books will take longer, depending on how the publisher typesets the text.
