It depends on the author's writing style and how compelling is the story. I usually finish it for two to three days if it's engaging, and if it is kinda boring, it takes me a while.

If it's engaging I could read 500 pages in a day. But some 500 page books have taken me even a month

If it is a page-turner I can read at the rate of about 300 pages per day. If it is casual reading or I am studying the book (non-fiction), it can be as slow as 20 to 50 pages a day.

It usually takes 3 days if it is a physical copy and about a week of it's an ebook. It also depends on my mood and the story.

Hi, 500 pages will take about 13.9 hours to read for the average reader. Typical documents that are 500 pages or more include full-length novels. A typical single-spaced page is 500 words long.

It all depends on how interesting the book is. It takes me three to four days on average. Sometimes I can read continuously for 6 hours straight.

It depends on the genre of the book, if it's fiction two weeks but if it's non-fictional not less that two days. It also depends on how interesting the book is.

Depending on whether I'm busy. A 500-page will take me a week. An 800-page two weeks. I've never read a 1000-page book before, and I don't think I will. Too much work!

It depends on how interested in I am in the book and how action packed it is. But on average it takes me about two to three days depending on how busy I am.
