I read Gone with the Wind! It was over 1000 pages, and I had to renew it three times from my library. I also had two toddler girls, so I was proud of myself for actually reading the entire book. I also loved it! I have the movie of it, but I’m afraid to watch it because we all know: books are better than the movie.

I often finish books in months. The book that I am currently reading is Atomic Habits. I started is two weeks ago and it's a practical book and I am in the first chapter. That's not because I am too lazy to read everyday. I can read 50/hr. I like reading a book digesting it slowly by applying it.

The longest would be a month. It was a bit boring and quite bulky.

Probably 2 months. Now, this had nothing to do with the book. I just had more important things to do (like school).

Crime and Punishment-it took me years. I tried to read when I was young but couldn't. Recently I picked it up again and finished it.

I am still reading this fantasy book in the Portuguese language that I started in February. Since I am not yet completely fluent in Portuguese, it's slower reading and I take a break for weeks or months, too.

The longest it's taken me to read a book was 3 weeks, it was a nonfiction novel and I had a hard time with it. It usually only takes me a couple days to a week to read a book.
